The end is near on Fleming speculation

Geoff Longley writes in the Press that an end to the Stephen Fleming saga will probably come this week, with Daniel Vettori likely to take over as Test captain.

It is understood the New Zealand captaincy issue has been resolved without acrimony and there seems no suggestion of Fleming charging off to the Twenty20 rebels in a huff having been bypassed for the captaincy. That would have been a black mark on Fleming's largely outstanding association with the game in this country and a sad note on which to farewell NZC, with whom he has had a 15-year association.
