Could we turn it into a Slow Blues Day?

Phurt. If Fred is Fred, the Saffies will have a hard time. They shit their pants at his bowling at home. Hopping about like a bunch of shirleys.

Speaking of Shirleys, one thing i'm not looking forward to this summer is the way the South Africans scream like little excited school girls whenever they take a wicket.

TBH, I think only Kallis and Prince played him well the last time we met. Not sure if their line-up has improved, with the lower order being a little more shaky than it was. If Flintstein isn't a shell of his former self, I reckon he'll fare pretty well.

I do. Would be great to watch Fred at his best (ala Ashes 05) making the Yarps earn it.

If he passes his M.O.T. in time to even begin nets .. then some match practice ... then the real thing .... over 5 days.
At which point, he'll probably break down again.
Sad ... but inevitable with his dodgy ankle and bowling trot.

Awww, Taipsy-waipsy can't take any criticism of his team - they're infallible? You're right, I'm sorry. They played him beautifully, were always behind the line of the ball and Flintoff fluked a good 20-odd wickets.

Danny wanny, I can take any legitimate criticism. Personally I have always thought Freddie was overrated.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Still, at least he can bowl good teams out to merit a victory for his side... y'know doesn't choke like a baby eating Skittles, doesn't hide shivering like Oliver Twist. That sort of thing.

Since Jan 01 2004:

Avg 38 with the bat.
Avg 27 with the ball.

You'd have to be some sort of a moron to think Fred was overrated.

Same as. Though he's more likely to score a ton. And bowl about 10mph faster. And actually perform against the best side.

We'll see when he comes back from injury. Polly was also pretty quick before he crocked himself playing for, I think Kent. And still took a barrowful afterwards. Anyway I would pick him before freddie any day.

I would have picked Pollock pre-2003/4 but he wouldn't be anywhere near my side instead of Fred if you're picking a team after that.
