Flintoff's retirment from tests :-)

Sad to hear this news..I dont know at what point i became a fan of him.I first noticed  his batting in 1999 world cup held in England.The match was against India.Due to rain the match was postponed to the reserve day.The equation was 120 runs from 20 overs.Graham Thorpe was the main batsman for them.All the other main batsmen were back in the pavilion. In the first overs itself Srinath strikes by trapping Thorpe leg before wicket.It was a controversial wicket.Because replays reveals that it may hit leg stump.
Then Flintoff came and play some fantastic shots.But he cant save England from defeat in that match.

Then how many spectacular innings with bat and bowl.His 166 against RSA was a treat to watch.
He single handedly turned lot of matches favor to England.
He played a major role in Ashes 2005 along with KP.


All the best Freddy........
