At Least Now ...

Fleming should follow his own gut feeling (and one overwhelmingly supported by me) and put McCullum at the top of the batting order given that Nathan Astle is out injured. After a fourth successive humiliating massive defeat surely it is worth the experimentation rather than giong with stuff like the Cannings and the Cummings and whatever other rubbish New Zealand have on offer.

Why Oh Why is Chris Cairns, by far the most influential bowler and the most likely batsman to turn a game around is bowling second change and batting 5 down is another completely baffling mystery.

Any clues anyone ??

NZ has become a big mess!...or OZs make them look so...I too looked at Fleming as a thinking captain..but he seems have lost the lustre...its clear that Chris Cairns is no more the player he used to be...due to injuries or ageing may be...he had many opportunities in this series to play a match winner...which he failed to do...would be better for NZ if they drop him...enough talent in the waiting.
