good tradition set by Ricky Ponting in new zealand.. since yall know NZ is struggling against Australia in Test serious after a claean sweep of one day by Australia. NZ skipper Fleming has been completely out of form since McGrath is the bowler to trouble him the most. He got his out 3 times in 4 innings. In the two innings of the lst test he made 18 and 17 and in the 2nd test his made 0 and 1. In the 3rd test he changed his position from opener batsman to number 4 player who comes after the fall of two wickets. it was the 3rd test after the dismisal of JAH Marshall, Fleming came there with the bat. He faced 3 deliveries of McGrath and the next over before the lst session was over, Ricky Pointing bowled for Fleming. This makes everyone shocked at the moment. Fleming played him well.. and after the lst session Australian skipper did not let McGrath bowl another few overs.... and after then McGrath started the bowling in second session. This is speculated as Ricky Pointing favor to Fleming as an opportunity to get set with the movement of the ball in the field. its a good tradition to give a little boost to off the form batsman to find his rhythm. Anyway i like Ricky ponting understanding to help Fleming get ready to encounter McGrath. Fleming made 65 runs in the lst innings. its a good tradition and i like it the most about cricket.
