He may no longer hold the captaincy, but Stephen Fleming still remains a focus of attention in the New Zealand cricket team this week।
Fleming's injured arm and thumb continue to hamper the Black Caps ahead of the second cricket test against South Africa, starting on Friday in Centurion।
Fleming's progress is troubling coach John Bracewell, as is Jacob Oram's hamstring strain, given his impact as an all-rounder who gives the team extra batting depth।
Meanwhile, there are no plans from Brendon McCullum to wear an armguard despite a peppering from the South African pace attack in the first test।
McCullum says he has faced some tough bowling over the course of his career so far and has had no real need for a guard। He says it is about the power of the mind to overcome such situations and if you have a freak accident taking your eye off the ball, there is nothing you can do.
The side has been put through an intense training session in Pretoria to try to make up for the lack of tests over the last year.
