Completely different game fella. Good timing for the cricket worldcup though.

Flintoff was always a great bowler in one day matches for his economy, during the last world cup he was the only bowler to go for around 2 an over which is a huge achievement when you think of some of the players that played.  Dunno what Id rather have a bowler that went for a few more runs an over or who is so economical.  Either way hes still a great bowler.

Great win for England though to come back from how we were being thrashed at the begining of the tournament.  Wonder if its got owt to do with Pieterson not being there, when he was they maybe relied on him to get the runs far too much.

Best thing about Freddie is that his economy puts pressure on the batsmen to go after the other bowlers, often resulting in Wickets.

I think giving McGrath a wicket on his last ball in home internationals was a big load of arse lick though  :lol:  :twisted:
