A good international bowler who could bat a bit.I'm not sure if he's mediocre but Darren Gough as a batsman had a sweet cover drive. Lovely bowling action too
Good callS Fleming
This one works on multiple levels because he spent his last couple of years playing aesthetic af cover drives at air while his off stump cartwheeled away aesthetically af.Michael Vaughan.
Unfair. Hoops had a good career.Carl Hooper
I was actually referring to his slip catching - he had bucket hands.Good call
Fine player but not close to Ross Taylor who has received more mentions
Fleming spent most of his career unable to capitalise upon starts because he was style over substance

The carcinisation of Ross Taylor.There was another thread recently about great cover drivers actually, and it made me seek out some Fleming highlights because in my memory he was a very elegant cover driver, particularly earlier in his career. However on review he seemed to be very leg side dominated, so maybe it was all in my head.
Kinda similar to Ross Taylor actually who was a very nice driver through the off-side but got crabbier and crabbier as his career went on and scored most of his runs through either cutting off off-stump or nudging it into the leg side.
