Fleming 50-50 chance for Gabba Test

New Zealand cricket captain Stephen Fleming is considered only a 50-50 chance of playing in next week's first Test against Australia in Brisbane.

Fleming contracted a virus on the recent tour of Bangladesh and did not travel to Sydney with the rest of the New Zealand team on Tuesday.

He had his first batting session in Wellington this morning but only lasted 15 minutes.
