Fleming raised his objections to the system following the Kiwis' defeat by England in the fourth one-dayer on Saturday.

Heavy downpours hampered the progress of the match and England scored 193 for the loss of six wickets off 40 overs.

Under the Duckworth-Lewis method, New Zealand were set 223 for the win but they were dismissed for just 189.

And Fleming, ahead of the fifth match between the two sides, said: "I'd like to see the Duckworth-Lewis method revised.

"As the game evolves then every rule has to be evolved.

"The quality of the fast bowlers in one-day cricket has improved and they have more power to bowl short, which means the scores are lower."

Despite his objections, he insisted he could not argue about the result of the fourth one-day international.

"We have no complaints about Auckland," he said. "We knew what we were in for. We just didn't bat well enough."

The fifth and deciding one-day international between the two takes place on Tuesday in Carisbrook, Dunedin.

England batsman Michael Vaughan has been ruled out after failing to recover from a shoulder injury.
