Three cheers for Andrew Flintoff! For years the England cricket team has been looking for a quality all-rounder like Ian Botham was and now we have found one. In fact, I would even suggest that Freddie is better than Beefy was.
Whether wielding a cricket bat, bowling a ball or stumbling around 10 Downing Street, Flintoff has real star quality - and a sense of humour to match.
When he was announced as the International Cricket Player of the year, Freddie modestly joked: "I was just here for the food."
