Fleming, however, admitted statistics had been driving him heading into the three-Test series against England.
He wants to pass 7,000 Test runs, which he did in Wellington.
He wants to score a 10th Test century after being dismissed five times in the 90s during his career (including 92 not out against Pakistan in 1996) and he has a maximum two further opportunities to achieve that goal.
Fleming also said he wants to end with a career average of 40, the statistical measure of a good Test batsmen.
To do so, he needs 113 further runs on the batsman-friendly pitch in Napier if he is out twice. He needs 73 if he is dismissed once.
