You look at the greats like Stephen Fleming and Daniel Vettori when they left, what key roles they had in the game - they played massive roles for New Zealand,&rdquo; Warner was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to see that role get taken away from them again and I think not just from a batting but a leadership point of view. I think whoever takes over there is definitely going to have big shoes to fill.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warner said since taking over as captain, McCullum had done a fantastic job with the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;I think since he&rsquo;s taken over as captain he&rsquo;s done a fantastic job so far in getting New Zealand cricket to play the way that he wants New Zealand to be perceived as and that&rsquo;s a great thing for their sport,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 29-year-old added that he has a lot of respect for McCullum and believes the next New Zealand skipper would do a great job too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure whoever does take that responsibility (Kane Williamson) will do a great job. But as a person and a character (McCullum) is one guy I do have the utmost respect for,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s always a gentleman and always has been. He&rsquo;s a great person to sit down and have a beer with,&rdquo; added Warner.<br \/>\r\n&ldquo;Cricket is losing a true gentleman from the sport.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
