Biography |
|
Andrew Flintoff is a cricketer who plays for Lancashire and
England. A tall, fast bowler, aggressive batsman, fine
fielder, and according to the ICC rankings, consistently
rated amongst the top international allrounders in both ODI
and Test cricket. His nickname "Freddie" or "Fred" comes
from the similarity between his surname and that of Fred
Flintstone. Since his debut in 1998, Flintoff has become an
integral player, and has both captained and vice-captained
the team. He has been plagued with ankle injuries due to his
bowling action, and in late 2007 a fourth operation took him
out of cricket until summer 2008. |
