I wouldn't be surprised if Fleming picks up his bat and ball and $1 milllion dollars and leaves the NZC Board with egg well and truly on their faces. Who would blame him?
NZC. He'll be made to look like the bad guy somehow.I wouldn't be surprised if Fleming picks up his bat and ball and $1 milllion dollars and leaves the NZC Board with egg well and truly on their faces. Who would blame him?
Flem274*'s sig said:NZC=Traitors to their devoted servant and country. May you rot in hell.
ner ner...I have had the last word ...I winTBH, my philosophy has always been "have the last word or don't bother starting anything". I believe I'm right, so I see no reason to back down. The only reason I'm not continuing to argue this is that the boss and Gelman have asked me not to.
Not having the last word does not result in not "winning".
Oh goodI know, it was kinda hard to miss what with the excess of smilies.
I agree. I'll be interested to hear what Richard Boock has to say re this.http://content-eap.cricinfo.com/newzealand/content/current/story/310504.html
can't believe no one has commented on this yet. England tour '08 to be Fleming's swansong? He will only be 35. A bit of a shame IMO.
Can't see where you get that from, all Gilchrist and Tait said was that the ICL is good for the game. Gilchrist himself denied any negotiations being made witht the ICL on his behalf.
Aye. It would have been better for him to be captain of the ODI team for a season to see if he was any good at making fielding changes under pressure, etc. As it is now, no one really has any idea how good he will actually be.Vettori has done nothing to suggest he'll be a good captain,
Vettori, Fulton, Patel?I'm just sad because I grew up in the era when Flem was captain, and Cairns and Astle were our best players. That era is at an end.
Exactly, I mean there has been lots of talk about him as the natural successor to Fleming but has he ever really merited that tag? Other than being a long-term fixture in both formats of the game but still quite young.Aye.

And won't it be strange having Fleming in the test team but not captain? Maybe Bracewell wanted him out altogether, which is making me feel that Bracewell is actually the devil incarnate

He's hardly played domestic cricket for Northern Districts over the last two seasons, playing only 3 games. It's not a shock that Vettori has been named captain, it was always going to happen, I just don't think it should've.Hasn't he had good success at domestic level?
I mean I understand the problem people are having here but questioning the next choice is ridiculous, Vettori has been vice captain for a long time and how many captains have had their hands held so tightly before they took their sides reigns, its hardly a shock. The whole way it came about was just ugly.
