In years to come people who didn’t see him will look back on his statistics and wonder what the fuss was all about. In his 79 tests 226 wickets at 32.79 and 3845 runs at 31.78. In 141 Odis 169 wickets at 24.38 and 3394 runs averaging 32.02. These are admirable stats certainly but they don’t explain the immense importance Freddie had to the game in this country. He galvanised the public, made them love cricket again and charmed a nation. I’m not aware of a cricketer that was as much a hero to the people of this country. You could feel it happening. You get a sense of it watching back that over he bowled at langer and Ponting. I think that may be one of the greatest overs ever bowled in any cricket ever. Flimtoff in 2005 is possibly one of the most iconic performances by any sportsman. Gower was quite right. The king has struck. It was a privilege to have the chance to watch him.

I agree. Been an english cricket fan for a long time. I have said this before, I'll say it again, when he was at his peak, he was the best all-rounder to ever walk on the planet. He was simply great. Really wished Freddie and KP played for England little bit more

@@starrynights2343 Don't think anyone would deny that Kallis was overall a much better player, but the thing with Flintoff was how quickly he could flip a game on its head with both bat and ball. An hour of him batting or a three or four over spell of him at his absolute best and the entire complexion of a Test match changed. You certainly couldn't say the same for Kallis. The best teams are made up of a mixture of both sorts of player.

Love the stare that Freddie gives Ponting after every appeal, it’s telling Ponting ‘yeah maybe not this ball but it’s coming, you know it is, I know it is, just wait, you’ll be gone soon enough......’.

This video does not do justice to how exceptionally he bowled. It's not always the wickets but the aggression, 13 over long spell hitting 150+ consistently, plays and misses and mostly when no one was getting wickets - he bowled and got one. That was one heck of a performance from him. I started enjoying test cricket after this series; not for the batting but for good spells of bowling.

I was very lucky to see Fredie once, in the 2008 Edgebaston test vs South Africa. England got bowled out on the first day but Freddie smashed a few around which kept the crowd going. South Africa needed to survive a few overs at the end of the day so Strauss bought Flintoff on and he made Graeme Smith snick off. Amazing to be there and to hear everyone chanting 'Super Fred'. His stats don't do him justice; he was a great player.
