Mike on Fleming's innings

Ben beat me to the point about Fleming's standard deviation, according to this statistic the New Zealand captain is the least consistent batsman currently playing test cricket.

He also beat me to the point about Fleming's innings, what a stunning effort. This innings also took Fleming's batting average to over 40 for the first time since his third test over 11 years ago. And we should not forget James Franklin - who at times resembled a clone of Fleming such was the quality of his play. I am currently feeling a little jaded after deciding to stay up until New Zealand was dismissed last night. At 279/7 this seemed like it would only be a matter of overs. I finally slunk off to bed at around 2am with the score at around 450/7.
