SYDNEY, Nov 13: New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming admits his side still has a long way to go if they are going to continue to challenge Australia this summer.

Despite coming close to snatching victory from the Australians Monday, Fleming refused to get carried away by performance of the Black Caps’ who flew in to Adelaide Tuesday for their upcoming tour match against South Australia which starts Friday.

“We knew when we came across we had a lot of work to do, nothing’s changed with that even with yesterday, and we’re just looking forward to the challenge of it.” Fleming told Australian media from Adelaide airport Tuesday.

“It’s only one drop in the ocean, I think there’s a lot more to go,” he said.
