Fleming, though, survived McGrath's opening spell and went on to play the most attractive innings of the day. But the dismissal of the New Zealand skipper, after he had made 48 off 70 balls, to a poor shot, proved the precursor of a devastating burst from Brett Lee. Reverse swinging the ball at great speed and spearing in a few deadly yorkers for good measure, the new blonde bombshell of Australian cricket snuffed out the New Zealand challenge, claiming the last five wickets for the addition of just 10 runs to the total. After super Tuesday, Lee certainly is one man who will relish the prospect of returning to Centurion for the first semi-final.
