Fleming sporting an average of 90

New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming's good start to the CricInfo Championship continued at the weekend and he is sitting third on the county run aggregate list for both divisions at the moment.

He followed his back-to-back centuries for Middlesex in Division Two of the championship by being unbeaten on 31 when the declaration was applied in the second innings against Durham on Saturday. The game ended in a draw.

Fleming took his run total for the season to 363 in six innings, two of them not out.

His average is now 90.75 which is sixth on the list for all first-class cricket to date in England this summer but he has played most innings of those with better averages.

But his one-day record has not been as impressive and he was out in a fourth-ball duck in yesterday's one-day league game with Durham. In six one-day games this summer he has batted five times for 121 runs at 24.20.

It wasn't such good news for Mathew Sinclair however.

His batting run which included a double century, a 199 and two centuries, ended when he was bowled for 14 in Cleethorpes' chase for Castleford's 173/8.

The Cleethorpes side were smarting after Castleford labelled their opponents as a "one-man side" after their defeat the previous weekend by Cleethorpe when Sinclair was not able to play.

Cleethorpe fell well short in the chase to be all out for 96. They now face a double header with Harrogate and Yorkshire Academy at home next weekend.
