Injuries take their toll on England's lionheart 8:00pm on 15 Jul 2009 EddieOnTheWing: my flippant 'drunk' comment aside, the stats don't lie.
Injuries take their toll on England's lionheart 7:01pm on 15 Jul 2009 QUOTE by Prasath: "But he is so called all rounder, barring the 2005 Ashes he had nothing done to his called potential."

100% correct - so what's all the fuss about???
Injuries take their toll on England's lionheart 6:22pm on 15 Jul 2009 So, if Flintoff's personal stats are 'hardly the most impressive as he aimed to become the best England all-rounder since Botham' and he's been at the helm of England's worst white-wash since the 1920s and he's played in all of how many of England's 15 wins in 46 tests since end of The Ashes 2005, what exactly is there to miss?
Andrew 'Fredalo' Flintoff - a lot of talent but just like Ricky Hatton and most other English sportsmen, too busy getting drunk to be considered any good.
Haye much too hasty? 3:36pm on 16 Dec 2008 I hope for Haye's sake that, for whatever reason, Vitali 'gets old' overnight and his punch-resistance isn't anything like it was when he fought Lewis.

His best chance is to do a 'Pacman' and use his speed and agility to get in and then out again, ASAP.

Otherwise, Haye's mouth is going to write a cheque his body can't cash...
Golf and the Olympics, not as daft as it seems 10:18am on 21 Aug 2008 As good as The Olympics 2008 have been, they seem to be being somewhat diminished by so many 'rinky-dink' sports/events nowadays and the stink of commercialism. The time for 'The Olympics' as we know them has long since past and now it is high time for Olympic world championships with clusters of like sports all contested under the Olympic 'ideal'.

Some sports are not enhanced in any way by being in the Olympics: soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball. Golf would fall into the same category. If the Olympics is the high point of any sporting four-year cycle, they should be in.
If not, keep them out.

Golf would not satisfy this litmus test.

From what I've read, Tiger Woods has always been lukewarm on the subject: "It would be great to have an Olympic gold medal for amateurs maybe, but if you asked any player if they'd rather have an Olympic gold medal or green jacket or Claret Jug, more players would say the Majors.

In other words, Woods is saying "thanks, but, no thanks"
