Former New Zealand cricket captain Stephen Fleming says he will give Daniel Vettori space to develop his leadership - but won't hesitate to tell the new skipper when he thinks the left-arm spinner should bowl.Fleming, who yesterday joined the New Zealand squad preparing in Christchurch for a test series in South Africa, said Vettori's biggest dilemma as a specialist bowler may arise early on when making the call to bring himself in or out of the attack."It's up to Brendon McCullum and myself to give him the confidence or suggest maybe that a change is required," Fleming told The Press."That's probably the only time I would look to influence his captaincy, otherwise I would give him his space and let him work his magic."Fleming said a target now was to lift his test average into the mid-40s from an unsatisfactory high 30s."My test average should be up higher than 40 and that's something I want to achieve but I've never been a great goalsetter.
