Hadlee is not too impressed with Fleming apparently

I think it's pretty well known that Fleming had strong views about the team and which direction they should be heading. Fleming was at his best as captain under Aberhart because he was given a huge amount of responsibility and pretty much ran the team himself. Incidentally around that period NZ were playing their best test cricket.

Fleming will no doubt make a great coach in the future :)

Fleming downgraded role of coach - Hadlee | New Zealand Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Thought it was interesting. Find it ironic that someone who was known to consider himself always a little bit above everyone else in his day is firing off rounds at someone else for it.
Hadlee had every right to consider himself always a little bit above everyone else in his day - in fact he had every right to do far more than that, and it's a mark of his humility that he didn't. There are many more too - for example the fact he considers Dennis Lillee a class above himself despite the fact that Lillee's biggest fans would claim he was at worst a smidgen ahead.

Anyway, getting coach-captain balances right is notoriously difficult - never terribly surprised if a combo fails to do so.

Not in regards to his ability, but to his place in the team. I seem to remember a story about an Alfa Romeo...
