I didn't want Flintoff playing becuase I was concerned about his injury. I don't think having injections in his knees is a good idea, and I would assume, only makes it worse in the long run.
Flintoff would die for England. However it is up to the Management to protect people like him from doing themeselves severe damage.

Having said that, he was brilliant and you couldn't ask anymore from him. I thought Shane Warne had fallen in love with him. He seemed besotted with Freddie. Can't beat an Aussie giving the plaudits to an Englishman. Freddie go and get pissed tonight, you deserve to have the freedom of England.
