And I also agree with Neil, the way Fleming lost to RSA was genius, they couldnt beat South Africa anyway though...

Yep but surely it's not a good thing if the captain of a team does something like that. I mean the whole point of cricket is that it is a sport and in sport you try to win, he tried as hard as he could to loose. Surely you can see what's wrong there.

If you had the choice to play SA or Aus in the final, who would you choose?

I'm not talking about why he did it, it's just that I feel that the fact that he did it is bad enough. Cricket is about the best side winning, not trying to fix results...like who you are going to meet in the final.

In a way I'm glad he did it, as it showed up the stupidity of having bonus points in a 3 Nation Tournament!

But strangely, most of the criticism for the players on those lists is unfair!
