Flintoff dropped

[Knightsworld]

For todays game V Canada.

Bopara takes his place.

 

[Tooting Gull]

It had to be a pedalo, didn't it. If there was one activity designed to maximise the 'We're all on the piss in the Caribbean'...throw in the 4am time slot and the embarrassing defeat to the Kiwis, and you've got cricket's answer to Anton Ferdinand.

 

[Knightsworld]

Apparently he is not even at the game, been told to stay at the hotel.

Probably to sober up

 

[Gully]

...I suppose we should be grateful that he didn't drown, whatever getting into difficulties on a pedalo might mean!

What a magnificent sporting athlete

 

[Gully]

He truly is, we haven't had athletisim like that in the England side since Botham hung up his jock-strap...they are now talking on R5 about him being sent home. WTF was he doing on the pedalo, going to war with the St Lucian Navy? They are now talking about pictures of him in action, on the pedalo, might be available soon...You Tube anyone?

 

[Ernest]

He should be dropped off a f***ing cliff, he is an absolute disgrace to ENGLISH cricket and he should never be picked again.
I bet Sir Geoffrey Boycott is spinning in his grave

 

[tedebear]

Silly boy, funny though

 

[Easy 10]

Utter f***ing wanker, a total embarrassment. I'm actually with Ernest on this one - send that dickhead home NOW. He doesn't deserve to take part in this tournament. Let him f*** off on a half-board holiday to Benidorm, being as thats how he's treating this World Cup campaign.

 

[Billy the Fish]

This is the blessing in disguise we've been waiting for. No chance he's going to be captain now, just a shame he didn't do it in Austrailia.

 

[Jimbo26]

Flintoff is a prick. It is the World Cup and the idiot is out drinking until 4am. What chance have we got with dickheads like this ??

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

62/0

13 overs

 

[Easy 10]

Against a load of mounties and log-choppers. Woo hoo. (mind you, we got beat by the sheepherders the other day, so I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies).

Bunch of hungover wankers.

 

[Springal]

Flintoff will be sent home i rekon.

"The fact that Vaughan didn't just say Flintoff has been dropped and said there would be more news later suggests there is more dramatic news to come. "

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

85-0 ( 18.0 overs )

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Flintoff is a prick. It is the World Cup and the idiot is out drinking until 4am. What chance have we got with dickheads like this ??

The same chance we had when dickheads like Botham were in the team?

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

101-1 ( 20.0 overs )

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

106-1 ( 21.0 overs )

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

169 for 4

 

[Timbo]

Freddie's now been sacked as Vice Captain!
