yep showing up opposite number who also has 3 doubles all in 2003 though Graeme Smith needs to actually make a score in this match to many times he's been leaving the job to kallis and co in the middle order

fleming deserves the applause as to score 3 doubles is a diff. task and it needs a lot of patience and concentration and to perform when the team is 1-0 down is even better. |

Good work by Fleming, do you guys think he can be classified into one of the worlds leading batsman with Ponting, Dravid etc? Because he doesn't get much mention on this forum |

Good batsman, but his conversion rate, i.e the amount of hundreds he gets compared to fifties holds him back when we consider him among the real greats of our era - Ponting, Dravid, Kallis, Tendulkar etc. That said, his conversion rate of hundreds to doubles is very impressive. |

He is NZ's leading batsmen and when people say new zealand only have 2 and a half batsmen Fleming equals a whole one and then the rest bat around him when fleming succeeds NZ succeeds thats why they lost the first test because Fleming failed.

he made a 274not out and this 262 whatwas the other score of 200+ made by him .ya exactly jp just 9 100's in 101 test is a bit too low for a player of his calibre but as the commentators say an avg of 38+ for a newzealander is an avg of 45+ in any other country .

You know how some people say a kiwi who averages about 39 like Stephen Fleming is about 45 if you where playing for like australia which i agree,but if thats so then Jacob Oram who averages 48 in test cricket would mean 54 for another country.

No doubt Fleming is a good leader but I don't I'd use the word "great" for his batting. He is a good batsman, one of New Zealand's finest cricketers, but not great.

I would have to disagree, Martin Crowe for me, miles ahead of Fleming. |

Fleming is definitely not the greatest ever NZ batsman. Martin Crowe and Glenn Turner would be higher on the list for me.

Many kiwi's have a love/hate relationship with Fleming, It's so infuriating when we really need a good opening, and he gets out for 3 or something stupid. He will score nothing for 3 or 4 games, then get a brilliant ton!

You think that's infuriating, have a look at Chris Gayle - he's no different! It's simple really, people with 40- averages don't perform as you would like them to in test cricket.
