Taylor is now just 582 runs behind his former skipper in overall runs for New Zealand across all three formats.
Fleming says that is exactly what he wants to see.
"Ross will break these records. You just hope that that cycle is there because it means that New Zealand cricket is in good shape and the players we're producing are better than the models from years before."
The Black Caps are training this afternoon in Mount Maunganui ahead of tomorrow's second ODI against England.

Bryan Waddle reviewd the Black Caps' thrilling ODI win over England in Hamilton.
Wads says the match was a classic example of ODI cricket which had time to ebb and flow, he believes that Ross Taylor is now one of our top three batsmen of the modern era and he also touches on the form of Mitchell Santner and Kane Williamson.

Execution is the Black Caps' buzzword ahead of tomorrow night's Twenty20 tri-series final against Australia.
Black Caps opener Colin Munro has told Nigel Yalden it's the key to bowling at Eden Park.
And Munro says they've got to put the ground size out of their minds and bowl like they would anywhere else.
"If you're too worried about the short boundaries straight then that's going to be in the back of mind when you're letting the ball go."
Munro says their intensity in the field also needs to improve as that's something they can control.

Steve Hansen has moved to explain the controversial All Blacks training camps and insisted he did, in fact, speak with Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd over the past three years.
Two weeks ago when Boyd announced he was leaving the Hurricanes coaching job later following this season, he claimed he hadn't spoken to the All Blacks coach for three years.
Hansen, told the Devlin Radio Show said that was a false statement.
"Yeah I did. We'll leave it at that we don't need to go back there."
Hansen also expanded on his defence of training camps during Super Rugby.
Franchises will be forced to release players for periods during the season in order to help planning for the mid-season tests against France.
Asked about the camps which sparked angst among Super Rugby ranks due to the disruption they will cause this season, Hansen reiterated Steve Tew's assessment that everyone was consulted and it was a result of New Zealand teams starting one week later which robs the All Blacks of preparation time.
Tew confirmed All Blacks will miss matches while some teams travel to South Africa. Others miss the start of training weeks ahead of crucial local derby games.
Two one-day camps, split between the south and north franchises, will focus on skills, leadership and game changes. Two three-day camps will be more dedicated to preparing for the three-test series against France in June.

"All three parties were given plenty of opportunity. Yes, I understand that it's not great for anybody really; it's not great for the Super clubs and it's not great for our preparation. It's just one of those things we have to do because of the way the calendar is. It won't have to happen next year because Super won't be interrupted halfway through," Hansen said.
"They're pretty harmless. They're in and out and back home.
"I have heard and read you can just rock up and beat France. I think that's totally arrogant. That's taking the All Blacks jersey for granted that you just turn up and win, and it's certainly taking the French for granted. It's not the way we believe it should be done.
"They're set up to try and help the players improve and to give them a bit of insight about where we want to go when we get to June."
While widely expected to stand down, Hansen appears in no rush to publicly declare his intentions about whether to stay on post the 2019 World Cup.
"Any decision about the future doesn't have to be made today. It'll be made on the same grounds it was last time. At the moment that's not where the priority of my thinking is but I'll still down first and foremost with my family and then the team itself and then the rugby union. Once I've done all of that it's pretty easy to make a decision but I wouldn't get too carried away with any of that at the moment."
In terms of selection for the season ahead, Hansen said the All Blacks needed 21 replacements last year and was hopeful he would not have to use too many outside those exposed to test rugby in 2016.
"The door is still open and it always will be. That's been shown in our selections over time that if someone is playing really well they'll get included. Nehe Milner-Skudder is a great example for the 2015 World Cup.
"Some players stood up and others took a little while to get going but got there in the end and we're in better shape because of that. But I would be hoping we don't have to use that many this year."

Westpac Stadium CEO Shane Harmon concedes an ugly pitch awaits for tonight's Twenty20 between the Black Caps and England in Wellington, but he's adamant there will be little issue with how it plays.
Pictures have emerged of the Wellington wicket having a large bald patch in the middle of it, with the surrounding grass a very dark green.
Harmon says the weather is to blame but told the Devlin Radio Show that he believes it will still be a quality surface.

"We've got perennial ryegrass throughout the year. That's a cool climate grass, it grows best bewteen 15 and 25 degrees. We've had 20 days in Wellington this summer over 25 degrees and down at the pitch level, we've had many days above that.
"We tested it and rolled a few balls down it yesterday and it looked consistent. It may be two-paced in parts in fairness, but both teams obviously have to play on it.
However, Harmon does concede they may need to consider changes to their ground preparation.
"We going to look at preparing wickets much earlier than we have done in the past. We may look at even over-sowing one of our pitches with [a different type] to see how that takes in the Wellington climate."
First ball in tonight's T20 will be bowled at 7pm.

New Zealand rugby league coach Graham Lowe says the NZRL's decision to allow non-New Zealanders to apply for the Kiwis job is "a great move".
Lowe hopes that the decision will bring some fresh thinking for management, with too many key decision makers "stuck in their thinking".

Listen as former New Zealand batsman and coach John Wright remembers former captain Bevan Congdon who died on Saturday night.
Congdon scored 3448 runs and took 59 wickets in 61 Test matches in a career spanning 13 years after he made his debut in 1965.
Wright made his debut the same year that Congdon retired but Wright's memories of Bevan went back to when he was 12 years old.
Wright shared some of his best memories of this first Test captain with Martin Devlin, and says that Congdon is one of New Zealand cricket's most under-rated players and an 'unsung hero' by many - but not the people he payed with and against.

Mark Chapman hopes to emulate some of his Australian rivals when he debuts for the Black Caps.
The Auckland all rounder and Northern Districts keeper Tim Seifert are the new names in the squad for the remainder of the Tri-Series.
Billy Stanlake and D'Arcy Short have carried their Big Bash League form into the opening games of the Tri-Series for Australia.
Chapman, one of the stand out performers in the last two Super Smash tournaments, knows why that's the case.
"It's been proving in T20 cricket, that often players in form tend to go quite well. It's no surprise that Short and Stanlake have been picked in the side and had some success."

NZME cricket writer Andrew Alderson says that while Simon Doull raised some good points in his critique of the current Black Caps T20 side, he feels Doull's reaction was a little over the top.
Doull made some scathing assessments of the current T20 side and called for Kane Williamson and Mike Hesson to be rested from T20 duties and for the team to be overhauled in the shortest format.
"I think it's slightly knee-jerk, but I think there are some good points in there. This team...was ranked no.1 in the world until recently, but I think the issue is more with playing in Australia.
"They seem to struggle there, I think it's that environment of getting bombarded the moment you arrive in the country."
Alderson doesn't believe in Doull's call to drop Williamson and Ross Taylor from the T20 side, and he says our best batsmen need to be playing as many games as possible.

Chris Jones, rugby writer for London's Evening Standard, reviews the biggest talking points from the weekend's Six Nations.
He says Italy are improving but still have a long way to go, and while England thrashed the Italians Eddie Jones' men won't be able to play that way and get away with it against Wales.
Jones also touches on Wales' astonishing thrashing of Scotland, Ireland's ding-dong battle with France and what could happen to the French following another questionable substitution under head injury protocols.
