Stephen Fleming has had to for long, carry the happy burden of being the best batsman in the New Zealand side. His stylish left-handed batting has made him grow in reputation as the only one in his side of the world-class mould. Such an acknowledgement has accrued to him a fair share of responsibilities as well as criticisms. Besides being a gifted batsman, Stephan Fleming is also regarded as one of the best captains in the cricketing world today. His innovative strategies and his bonding with his players have been the reasons for his enduring captaincy. Initially, Stephan Fleming was often been chastised for wearing his responsibilities loosely. His inability to convert his good starts into big scores had given his detractors a stick long enough to whip him with. But a lot has changed in recent years. Stephan Fleming has shown an uncharacteristic hunger for runs and has improved his conversion rates. Most attribute this transformation to his county cricket experience with Middlesex in 2001. A string of long and brilliant innings has followed since, which include 274 against Sri Lanka in the first of the 2003 series and an unstoppable 192 against Pakistan the same year. In April 2002, Stephan Fleming scored an authoritative 262 against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Stephan Fleming is the highest test scorer for New Zealand; he surpassed Martin Crowe's 5444 runs in 2004. Cricketscorelive.com gives information on Stephen Fleming and other Great Cricket Players. |
