1. NZ winning record (of one dayers) under Flemming's captaincy is less than 50%.
2. NZ have not won or reached the finals of any major tournaments.
3. Like India, NZ have by and large, a reputation of being tigers at home only.
No doubt, Flemming was a reasonably good and steady captain, but no one else except for the forumers on rediff use superlatives to describe his captaincy.
I repeat he was a good captain but certainly not exceptional. Why are we going all out to praise his captaincy so lavishly?
If an Indian captain has a winning record of less than 50% would the Indian public support his being retained as the captain for 10 years regardless of however brilliant the captain he may be?
