Bomb Australia would be the best idea

Never mind. Flintoff can lead them out on what he's best at - another piss up.

This was a humiliation. It all stems back to the evening England won the Ashes, when the cult of Freddy was born.

I think their knight hoods should withdrawn. I am not a fan of sports people getting OBE's, MBE's etc and they are still not even near the end of their carrers.
This shouldn't happen until they have retired.

They didn't get knighthoods, it was MBEs or OBEs, but I agree with you. All that tulipe celebrating winning the Ashes was totally OTT, and not something players should do if they want to stay competitive. And it's not hindsight - I emailed Sky on air about it at the time, but of course it went right over Bob Willis's head.

Then to make Freddy captain was about the worst thing they could have done...

'Kinell, Ireland have done even worse!
