International Captain
Flintoff is rated quite highly by many people, yet he rarely scores many runs and hardly ever takes many wickets in test cricket. Occasionally he does play an exciting innings, but his failures are far more frequent than his successess. The fact is that he shows little sign of improvement. Even since his coming-of-age tour in 2001-02 he averages a modest 29 bith the bat and 43 with the ball. No allrounder has played 50 Tests with such an ordinary output, let alone 100.
