FLEMING's last 4 inngs against SRL

[Raghav]

Its really painful to look at the statistics of Fleming in the last four innings against Srilanka.

Four DUCKS in the last FOUR innings. Unbelievable stuff. I think its a record that no player can beat.

Its more painful because, Fleming was out to VAAS in all these innings. And with NZ about to face SRL in the semi-final, will our NZ captain will again be a easy picking for vaas? Will he? or not!

Only time will tell. I hope that Fleming get off the mark as quickly as possible to avoid another possible DUCK..

Vaas has made Fleming his bitch.

The big flaw in Fleming's technique has been exposed well by Vaas who can make it move both ways in the early overs, it's not surprising really.

But four ducks in the same number of innings consecutively is really suprising!

Please stop, or Fleming will hit the first ODI double-century in his next match, and it will all be your fault.

 

[Sir Redman]

Yeah, it's really poor from Fleming to get out in the same way so often so easily. You'd think that by now he would have come up with a way to counter it. Personally, I hope he goes nuts against him in full-attack mode, because he's not going to last long poking around like he has been. He could try charging down the pitch, or he could try and play hime through midwicket or somewhere, but he's got to change what he's been doing against Vaas recently.

 

[MoxPearl]

atleast he can only go up

Unless he gets into penalty runs territory of course.

 

[Prince EWS]

Unless he gets into penalty runs territory of course.

Or he can always stay completely stagnant and continue his run of ducks.

 

[Burgey]

I can only think of AA's ducks vs Australia for India as a record to beat it. M Waugh scored 4 test 0s in a row in Sri Lanka once - his team mates were calling him "Audi"

 

[Jono]

Should just leave it and get bowled, it'd buck the trend at least.

If he left the last LBW ball he wouldn't off been bowled

 

[marc71178]

Impossible. I have it on good authority, OK on JASON's authority, that only SL have bad LBW calls against them.

That makes sense actually, I've come to the conclusion that Fleming has in fact been playing for SL in the last 4 games between the two teams. Why else would he have batted that way?

(Apart from Vaas being one of the best new-ball bowlers in ODIs of course...but let me have my joke. Please.)

the term BUNNY springs to mind

Joke?

 

[_Ed_]

Fair enough.

 

[Raghav]

Is it better to send Franklin with Fulton instead to open to protect Fleming?

 

[Richard]

Vettori.

Seriously - someone's gotta get Fleming the opener out, haven't they? It's pretty silly the number of runs he's scored as an opener anyway.
