List you blog
CPD,
I could not take part in your first quiz but will try to answer this quiz.
@ Vikas,
Please do....mate... :D
Andrew Flintoff considered to be one among the best all rounder of all times has reiterated his earlier stand on retirement decision. With Australia dominating the fifth Ashes Test which will be a deciding game, there were rumors that Flint off may reconsider his decision.
Flintoff had earlier made up his mind to retire from Test cricket after the current Ashes series, citing the frequent injuries as the reason is firm in his stand. He however did not rule out the possibility of playing four day cricket at national level as a part of Lancashire team. However the eminent all rounder will be continuing playing cricket as far as fifty over game and twenty-twenty version are concerned. Flintoff is a part of IPL Chennai Super Kings team.
@ Blog list,
Will do soon.....
@Vijay Anand,
Truly he is the best modern allrounder and also probably Englands bestever.
Surely he'll be missed in the longer formate but atleast we'll see his brilliance in the shorter formats.........
