Cricket: Fleming ends test career with 66

Stephen Fleming ended a long and prosperous career representing New Zealand at test cricket when he was dismissed this afternoon for 66.

His last innings at McLean Park was ended after he edged a ball off Monty Panesar to wicket-keeper Tim Ambrose.

The former captain scored his forty-sixth half-century this afternoon as New Zealand was faces a mammoth total.

His 66 runs also gave him an average of over 40 and although Fleming has said 40 is just a number, it is the icing on the cake of an impressive record that includes three double centuries.

Fleming debuted for New Zealand in 1994 and holds the record for most catches and has scored the most runs for New Zealand with over 7160 runs.
