Same here. He was pissed on red wine when he turned up.
Flintoff's best mate in cricket is Harmison. I'd struggle to take criticism constructively with that whingeing geordie mamas boy in my ear all the time.
Freddie doesn't like Athers

Atherton has a brain and uses it, Flintoff doesn't.
As for Atherton's average, it went down a lot in later years when he played with a chronic back problem. Also worth remembering the opening bowlers at time he played - Wasim, Waqar, Ambrose, Walsh, Donald, Pollock, McGrath, etc. If he survived them, he had to contend with Warne, Murali, Kumble, Mushtaq, Saqlain...
Cook is a fine player but opening bowlers are very poor at the moment. Steyn is very good and he and Morkel will be a test.
