    Next patient for Dr Flintoff forrrrr…what? For treating him of his disease of ugly heaves to non-spinners? Or inserting rods in his wrist to prvent him accidently turning his leg-breaks by a foot? Hmmm…Bob has me scratching here (my head that is)..

    Willis - gorgeous as a bowler, a dirge as a commentator. Perhaps Bob is hoping Freddie will give him an exercise in hand anatomy - demonstrating what the middle finger is for. And as Freddie really IS a happily married, family man, this does not involve the use of mobile phones.

    By the way, Will, you wrote a great piece on Hoggy. Thanks. Love that boy.

    Yes, glad to see Hoggy getting some coverage - he really deserves it. Wouldn’t like to see an England team without him; he’s a very brainy bowler and can execute a plan perfectly - see Smith, Gayle, Hoggard etc. Nice piece.

    Thanks Wraye and Bishop. Although he didn’t produce a match-winning performance, he still took key wickets in this Test, and is an important member of England’s attack. Thanks for reading
