Well, the worst kept secret in NZ cricket has just been confirmed... Fleming has been replaced by Vettori as captain in all forms of the game. Perhaps a consequence Flem's retired from ODI's - though of course he'd handed over the captaincy at the end of the World Cup.

So here's me starting a bit of a pool, a chocolate fish to the winner! When will Flem retire from Tests?

I notice that the last test of NZ's winter tour to the UK is at Trent Bridge... convenient, given Flem's Notts connection, very convenient. I'm going on the record and saying that (selection/injury allowing) that test will be Flem's last.

Retirement a la Cairns.
