Flemming has had considerably less expectation's placed on his captaincy than Ponting ever has.

Regard all you like, where are all the Flemming strings of cosecutive victories ?

Flemming did have a habit of quickly sending the attacking feilders back defending the boundary surprisingly early in games.

Flemming also had a habit of talking about draws as if they were victory's.
