i go to get some much needed ZZZ's and wake up to read this one would hope he thought about this before he came public and that he didn't make this choice in the heat of the moment and getting in first before a bitter NZ public called for heads to roll but in saying this sounded like it was on the cards cause Simon Doull did mention this after the match end of an ear one would say but...

Cometh the hour cometh the man Dan Vettori to step up

[Hitcher]

I'm truly worried about the choice of next the next one-day captain, particularly given the effect that captaincy often has on a player's performance.

Stephen Fleming will be remembered as the greatest ever New Zealand cricket captain in both forms of the game. It will be a while before anybody else heads him off on that score. I hope that his decision to quit as captain is reflected in an improvement in his batting.

does he have to give the heat pump back now

{Nods} It destroyed both Ken Rutherford and Martin Crowe's performances almost on their hour of the changeover. Thank god Richard Hadley never accepted it. The Most Valuable Player does not necessarily make the best Captain - but they don't get that, do they.

Daniel Vettori and you can quote me on this WILL be captain

[Hitcher]

I'm not denying that Dan Vettori will be first choice. But should he be? He carries enough of a load with this bowling and he also has a fragile back.

[alexthekidd]

I think Vetorri is too dodgy a player to be captain, i mean great experience and he suer would ahve the right stuff, but with injuries and the huge load he already carries.

What about Brendan McCullum?? Experience, still heaps of years to come

The Aussies seem to be immune to this problem, bastards.

I don't it would be a good for Vettori to be captain - I don't see how a slow bowler can command a place in the side...and for that matter a fast bowler. A batsman on the other hand can as could a wicket keeper.

Fleming shouldn't remain in the one day side either. Too many complications, old captain new captain etc. Need to make a fesh break. Have some new blood and start the build up to the next world cup.
