- sad about fleming too, tho 10 years is a fair while to be captain... in an interview at the bbc cricket site (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/6588767.stm) he talks about how well they did with what they've got - sad but sometimes true - however that kind of attitude, that there's always that excuse is bad bad bad i think - I mean with Oram, vitori, bond and styris all fit - thats enough to take anyone down and they should see themselves as world class, not happy with 3rd or 4th if they're gonna go further. My thoughts. Might put this conversation up on intraspace. J
