absence of flintoff

i think absence of flintoff will be a huge boost for bd especially in one dayers. free hitters have always been a trouble for bd and thrashed bd medium pacers many times in the past. even though england is still strong enough, i like to think bd will give england a close shave

Flintoff's not going to play in the tests against BD but I don't think he has been excluded from the one day side.

I think he may play in the ODIs as they could be a warm up to the Ashes.

Flintoff will not be playing in the NatWest Series. Maybe, just maybe the Natwest Challenge against Australia, but not you.

If free hitters trouble you, then KP, Geraint Jones and Trescothick will be problems for you, your lads should address that.

Flintoffs coming on nicely, he looked in good health in a TV interview and he is back batting again. He made 119 off 99 balls in a warm up game the other week, he hit 13 fours and 7 sixes! One went out of Old Trafford. FREDDIE I BOW TO YOU

LOL

It is true. England has other batters that are good other than Flintoff. There is Peiterson for example.. Im hoping for a few ducks by him in the test series.

Who cares about whether Flintoff plays or not...We just gotta play our own game.....Just a ffew months back we beat India with Sehwag in their ranks....Is Flintoff more devastating than him..?......It is important that we dont rate these mediocre englishmen that high.....they are after all just MEDIOCRE....cheers....

It's one thing to be a Bangladesh fan, but that doesn't mean that you become blind and make irrational statements like the one you did. Just how is Flintoff mediocre? Can we boast of a single player who has achieved more either bowling or batting than him? If we don't, what does that make us other than worse than mediocre? Please think before you post.

Apologies if you were joking with your post.
