Flintoff out
Andrew Flintoff will have another operation on his ankle, which looks set to put him out for a considerable amount of time. Rumours have been floating around that he may even be forced to stop bowling and concentrate on a career as a batsman. Other rumours say that the earliest he’ll be back in action for England will be against India, some 2 months away. With Simon Jones also in the news recently for all the wrong reasons (his knee is swollen), Peter Moores isn’t have the luckiest start to his career as England coach.
Perhaps some time off will be good for Flintoff - there’s no question he has been worked in to the ground over the last few months - but with the cricket season in full swing, it could have come at a better time.
Ironically, this may secure a place for Andrew Strauss in the test side - with Flintoff unfit and Vaughan ever a worry about picking up a new injury, you can’t really have your third-in-line skipper on the sidelines.
