I'd like to qualify my "Fleming bashing" by adding that I am a big fan of his, and am constantly defending him from the barbs of ignoramuses (in the real world, not on CW). In this instance though, I genuinely believe Fleming's innings cost us the game.

I agree with you. I think it is a heavy burden to captain and be the best batsman. Ponting has managed it, but Vaughan who IMO is a great captain has not had the same success with the bat as he did before he took up the captaincy.
When Fleming is batting fluently he is a pleasure to watch. He is also a great tactician. However, he has been doing both for the last 10 years and more recently neither have been going that well. So maybe it is time for him to concentrate on being a batsman only.
Maybe Vettori or Oram should have a go at the captaincy.

No, you get the Chappell-Hadlee for 3 instead

It is interesting to note that Plunkett took 3-60, a set of hypothetical figures that's been much discussed and written off as too expensive in recent times, yet I dare say without the 3 wickets, NZ would've cruised home.

Ahh, but if he hadn't have been so expensive - as in, he took 0/40 instead - he wouldn't have needed the wickets and NZ would have been too far behind the 8 ball in terms of run rate.

Wouldn't suprise me if we actually won the series, just to give us a big dose of false hope going into the World Cup...No, you get the Chappell-Hadlee for 3 instead

Devastating news for NZ.

I think so too.
I very highly doubt it will be a full-strength Australian team. I don't think Gilchrist will come, or McGrath, and I'm not entirely convinced Ponting will.

Well, we have to provide Scaly Piscine with some more ammunition for the next year or so don't we?
