Russ gets all mathematical on his readers while discussing this column at Cricinfo. Mathematically minded readers might enjoy his analysis. Me, I got a headache trying to figure it out, but then I’m hopelessly innumerate.

Flintoff to captain England
By Will 2 years ago, at the end of February, 14 Comments »
According to reports, Andrew Flintoff is in line to captain England in the first Test at Nagpur on Wednesday, assuming both Michael Vaughan and Marcus Trescothick are unable to attend to their usual duties. I find this quite surprising, not to mention a great shame.
Flintoff has a good cricket brain. I don’t think anyone can doubt that someone who bowls as cleverly as he does, and who bats (now) so sensibly, doesn’t understand the game very well. However, Flintoff isn’t simply another member of the team; he is the team. The addition of captaincy will, like it has affected most English captains in recent years, ruin one or both of his skills. I’m certain it’s not a long-term plan, but given his importance to the side as a bowler and batsman, why burden him now? Why not Andrew Strauss?
