Hi Sky team! could you upload Warnie's indoor nets masterclass (with Athers and Nasser batting together). Note that I am not referring to the one Warne did indoors on his own.
Interesting story ..I met Andrew flintoff in Antigua with his wife and kid about 12 years ago and I was in high School at the time and he was in the icecream parlour . I was soo excited I called him Shane Warne and his wife corrected me .. I knew who he was buy boy was i star struck ..but wait there is more we had a quick convosations about 3 min but felt like a lifetime and then I heard a beeping and when I looked it was dwayne bravo in a car with two girls with music blasting and he was shouting some to flintoff who just laughed and bravo sped off.. haha I never forgot that it was actually at a place called Australian icecream palour ...
What a genius player. Too bad he retired at just 31. I just wish he could play for another 5 years. England were fortunate to have the best English All-rounder across all formats!
Hi No matter what countries they belong but good players deserves recognition and appreciation As an Indian, I like many Pakistanis as my favourites like Inzamam ul Haq, Shahid Afridi etc......
He struggled with Bulimia in his playing years and used to drink a lot. It’s a surprise he was still able to play to the ability he was with them problems alone.
I agree that both are the best all rounders of their time but there is something that doesn't match between Stokes and Freddie. Yes of course they both have that passion to play and that hunger to win but there is difference in their batting mindset. Ben stokes plays at a speed according to the situation, example he can score a 50 in an odi in 30 balls also and once he scored 50 in an odi in 102 balls. But Freddie was a "bit" of an over ambitious batsman looking for boundaries which resulted in him making way less runs than he actually could
@@Pratyush2124 agreed. stokes has evolved into a better match winner since that horrific world cup final in 2016, i think it really changed him tempramentally.
One of my favorite cricketer fearless ,speaks his heart out , pioneer and rebellious most of all great human being love from (Tanzania, india, ireland)
What a player Fred was on his day. Could change a game with the ball or the bat, that's what anyone would want from an all rounder.Wasn't as consistent as someone like Kallis but my god, watching Freddie on form was worth the admission ticket alone.
@@noahnaude1100 Final third of his career, his bowling was better then most in the world. On top of that he was an excellent catcher and he improved his batting with a solid 40 average in that final third. Best all-rounder in that final third of his career. First half he was average to the core. Don't you agree?
Really sad to note that none of them in the public could recognize cricket players. ECB should to something to make cricket popular in england. Cricket is such a lovely game. It certainly deserves more love from its creators.
When he mentioned Harmison and Hoggard around 08:40 it really took me back to those days. I loved watching that English team play, especially in England and wearing whites. Imo Flintoff is the greatest England allrounder after Botham. The only aspect Stokes clearly beats him on is fielding I guess. What a legend, shame he retired in his prime years!!
Hey flintoff . I saw you bat in Sharjah in the series England won. I knew the moment you hit four you would be a top notch all rounder. And you a great now...
@@prinvedogra9108 Today's kids don't know how dangerous Andrew Flintoff can be Today's kids only know about Ben Stokes If you're this generation's Human being, Then for you Flintoff v Stokes means that stokes will win Flintoff is more dangerous than Stokes Get lost cry baby
@@rohita06 it's you who is crying 😂. Tell me what Flintoff has done better than stokes in his career. Stokes already is a legend & some idiots like you always put old generations superior than the new ones even if they being flopped. May be you can't see young generation doing good uncle 🤣
@@prinvedogra9108 Flintoff was the first Englishman to reach No.1 in ICC All-rounders Rankings in Tests.... He is a much better All-rounder Than stokes And the deserved ones should get appreciation Especially in today's generation a lot of players get huge appreciation from the media, commentators, news, Players etc.... And mind you, I am not an uncle
Anyone from the subcontinent watching this would feel he retired early. He is 43 now his last game was in 2009 which means he was 31 when he left international cricket. A cricketer as iconic as him should and could have played at least 5 more years.
Interesting hearing him speak here, great insight. But like most people there’s a lot more to them than meets the eye, he’s very different when he’s on a League Of Their Own lol 👍.
His stats will never do justice showcasing the kind of player he was. He bowled at terrific pace and could nail reversing yorkers. Many key innings with the bat as well. But most importantly he delivered when the team needed him the most. Wish he didn't retire so early. There wasn't a single child who didn't idolise him when he was at his peak. P.S. wish the rascal was as fit as he is now when he was playing 😉😂
@@faith_in_the_future lol calm down mate, i didnt say green would be better than kallis or botham or kapil dev, i just said he'd be better than flintoff, provided he doesn't start binge drinking and become a fat, overweight, unfit criciketer like flintoff was.
@@shikhargovil9579 he would as he starts bowling more and gets stronger,curently he is still recovering from a back injury and hence is being preserved.
@Alexander Allsop stokes has limited opportunities at home as Anderson broad are at their peaks...with all respect to harmison and co ..this pace attack is far more superior. Stokes has delivered when it mattered...In 2018 indian visit , first test , match on the line he dismissed kohli... which set up the series... Freddy has better stats but we can't overlook stokes' impact with the ball
For a guy who retired 12 years ago, freddie looks bizarrely young. I don't know what compelled him in taking retirement at 31. Sad to see such talent getting wasted in England cricket.
His ankles couldn't take the punisment. Too many injuries to them when he was younger and heavier, couple of operations too. It didn't help when they tried to change his action too, put more strain on his body. Add that to the fact that nobody wears proper bowling boots anymore that fasten right around the ankle to keep it upright (everyone wears low trainer style boots) and there will be more quickies retiring early like he did.
I always found at school that Cricket and Tennis where the only two sports where by the good players at school had to show off and not give encouragement to those players not so good; Rugby, Football, Swimming, Athletics, even badminton and basketball, in all those sports the good lads would help those not so good and everyone had fun... all except Cricket and Tennis (those lads where cocks). It’s nice to see Freddie being so open and talkative about cricket
One can only wonder how much runs he would’ve scored if he was this fitter during his playing days. Man I miss him :D Freddi Freddie what’s the real name Andrew ;P
We'll have Freddie's bowling masterclass uploaded tomorrow at 4pm UK time! 🏏
Yay
That’s a one to watch!
Loving these videos. Please upload Jacques kallis' batting masterclass as well
Hi Sky team! could you upload Warnie's indoor nets masterclass (with Athers and Nasser batting together). Note that I am not referring to the one Warne did indoors on his own.
Flintoff looks 5 years younger than he used to look 10 years ago.
haha.. I also noticed that.
True he reduced alot of weight. if he comes to T20 leagues he will be in high price
Yeah he looking really young and smart
Mani R he’s 43 and hasn’t played in almost 10 years... no chance
Yea true

@@raghavendrg3475 No just trained as one for a few months for 1 fight only and that was about 3 or 4 years ago.. He does not box.
Same bro !! I was stunned when I saw him in this video. I was like, is he the same Flintoff

Why do you have to speak in English you don't know, you can speak in Hindi or urdu brother
I always see a Freddie Flintoff in ben stokes, purely because of the energy and commitment on display and the talent
Stokes is all grit and power. Flintoff was more flamboyance and patches of brilliance. Stokes is more a Kallis kind of allrounder.
@@RP-kr2mg stokes is also an entertainer on field much like flintoff and also tries to contribute in every department.

Imagine Freddie and Ben playing together in the same english team

Freddie looks so fit. He retired 10-15 years early!
I did a acting job with Freddie for Morrisons what a great guy.
My favourite cricketer of all time! He was brilliant was our Freddie! one of the greatest English cricketers of all time...
Really enjoyed this. Good to see Freddie talking about cricket
His Goochie impression cracked me up.
What a great all rounder he was
Great summer of 2005 watching Freddie! what a series that was when he smashed Brett Lee and Shane Warne for sixes great entertainment
my cricketing hero, was a joy watch him when on form, i've sent this to my cricket mad son too
Never realised Roberto Keys was so tall...
Great work from one of the best ever. Final third of his career was amazing.

Stokes or Flintof who would you rather pick in your playing XI and why?🤔🤔🤔
Freddie. Batting and fielding wise, not much to separate the 2 of them, but bowling, Freddie is at least 1 league above Stokes.
looks fit enough to play t20
That accent reminds of Spud from Trainspotting.
No not even close.
Evryone's falling for it to b recent video, while this video's is some 4-5 even more years back😂
For real? How do you know
Why did you retire Freddie? One of the best hitters along with Pietersen!
