We'll have Freddie's bowling masterclass uploaded tomorrow at 4pm UK time! 🏏
Yay
That’s a one to watch!
Loving these videos. Please upload Jacques kallis' batting masterclass as well
Hi Sky team! could you upload Warnie's indoor nets masterclass (with Athers and Nasser batting together). Note that I am not referring to the one Warne did indoors on his own.
Flintoff looks 5 years younger than he used to look 10 years ago.
haha.. I also noticed that.
True he reduced alot of weight. if he comes to T20 leagues he will be in high price
Yeah he looking really young and smart
Mani R he’s 43 and hasn’t played in almost 10 years... no chance
Yea true
Freddy looks more fitter now than his playing days !!!
I think he cut out the booze years ago
If I am not wrong Flintoff stared boxing career after cricket
@@raghavendrg3475 No just trained as one for a few months for 1 fight only and that was about 3 or 4 years ago.. He does not box.
Same bro !! I was stunned when I saw him in this video. I was like, is he the same Flintoff
He struggled with Bulimia in his playing years and used to drink a lot. It’s a surprise he was still able to play to the ability he was with them problems alone.
His bowling action every one tried...
What a genius player. Too bad he retired at just 31. I just wish he could play for another 5 years. England were fortunate to have the best English All-rounder across all formats!
He was pleasing to eyes... what a great cricketer, a living legend.
Interesting story ..I met Andrew flintoff in Antigua with his wife and kid about 12 years ago and I was in high School at the time and he was in the icecream parlour . I was soo excited I called him Shane Warne and his wife corrected me .. I knew who he was buy boy was i star struck ..but wait there is more we had a quick convosations about 3 min but felt like a lifetime and then I heard a beeping and when I looked it was dwayne bravo in a car with two girls with music blasting and he was shouting some to flintoff who just laughed and bravo sped off.. haha I never forgot that it was actually at a place called Australian icecream palour ...
As an Aussie, I didn't like him in 2005, now I appreciate him a lot. Absolute legend
Hi
No matter what countries they belong but good players deserves recognition and appreciation
As an Indian,
I like many Pakistanis as my favourites
like Inzamam ul Haq, Shahid Afridi etc......
@@ulaganathans8118
Absolutely!
I always see a Freddie Flintoff in ben stokes, purely because of the energy and commitment on display and the talent
Stokes is all grit and power. Flintoff was more flamboyance and patches of brilliance. Stokes is more a Kallis kind of allrounder.
@@RP-kr2mg stokes is also an entertainer on field much like flintoff and also tries to contribute in every department.
I agree that both are the best all rounders of their time but there is something that doesn't match between Stokes and Freddie. Yes of course they both have that passion to play and that hunger to win but there is difference in their batting mindset. Ben stokes plays at a speed according to the situation, example he can score a 50 in an odi in 30 balls also and once he scored 50 in an odi in 102 balls. But Freddie was a "bit" of an over ambitious batsman looking for boundaries which resulted in him making way less runs than he actually could
@@Pratyush2124 agreed. stokes has evolved into a better match winner since that horrific world cup final in 2016, i think it really changed him tempramentally.
@@shikhargovil9579 yeah, we can say he has become more mature
He’s a honest lad, top bloke, good fun and an amazing entertainer 🙌
An honest*
@@Playerone1287 it’s just an typo 😃
@@belsayshootingground a typo*
Why do you have to speak in English you don't know, you can speak in Hindi or urdu brother
He is built like a tank
What a great all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was !
Looking like you're on your way to a good career as well 😅😂🤣
Joe fell for fake gill
@@Joe-xf5ot hmm
If ur shubman then I’m Joe biden
@@sanzcalibre5486 lol😂
Freddie could have played for Eng legends in ongoing rsws
Hasn't played for 10 years
So he didn't participate
One of my favorite cricketer fearless ,speaks his heart out , pioneer and rebellious most of all great human being love from (Tanzania, india, ireland)
Freddie looks so fit. He retired 10-15 years early!
Never realised Roberto Keys was so tall...
Been waiting for Andrew Flintoff's batting masterclass thank you
Imagine Freddie and Ben playing together in the same english team
🔥🔥
His Goochie impression cracked me up.
I did a acting job with Freddie for Morrisons what a great guy.
Really enjoyed this. Good to see Freddie talking about cricket
my cricketing hero, was a joy watch him when on form, i've sent this to my cricket mad son too
What a great all rounder he was
We need Flintoff vs Stokes !
Flintoff will win.
@@rohita06 no chance
@@prinvedogra9108 Today's kids don't know how dangerous Andrew Flintoff can be
Today's kids only know about Ben Stokes
If you're this generation's Human being,
Then for you Flintoff v Stokes means that stokes will win
Flintoff is more dangerous than Stokes
Get lost cry baby
@@rohita06 it's you who is crying 😂. Tell me what Flintoff has done better than stokes in his career. Stokes already is a legend & some idiots like you always put old generations superior than the new ones even if they being flopped. May be you can't see young generation doing good uncle 🤣
@@prinvedogra9108 Flintoff was the first Englishman to reach No.1 in ICC All-rounders Rankings in Tests....
He is a much better All-rounder Than stokes
And the deserved ones should get appreciation
Especially in today's generation a lot of players get huge appreciation from the media, commentators, news, Players etc....
And mind you, I am not an uncle
Freddie had huge influence on me growing up playing my style was also similar I try get boundaries early on so it gave me confidence also
He might get a call up for the tests this summer!!! Brilliant player and great bloke.
What a player Fred was on his day. Could change a game with the ball or the bat, that's what anyone would want from an all rounder.Wasn't as consistent as someone like Kallis but my god, watching Freddie on form was worth the admission ticket alone.
Great summer of 2005 watching Freddie! what a series that was when he smashed Brett Lee and Shane Warne for sixes great entertainment
Really sad to note that none of them in the public could recognize cricket players. ECB should to something to make cricket popular in england. Cricket is such a lovely game. It certainly deserves more love from its creators.
Freddy looking younger than he did in 05 Ashes. What a legend!
When he mentioned Harmison and Hoggard around 08:40 it really took me back to those days. I loved watching that English team play, especially in England and wearing whites. Imo Flintoff is the greatest England allrounder after Botham. The only aspect Stokes clearly beats him on is fielding I guess. What a legend, shame he retired in his prime years!!
My favourite cricketer of all time! He was brilliant was our Freddie! one of the greatest English cricketers of all time...
This is an old masterclass...stilll england cricket thank uh for all this😍😘
Great work from one of the best ever. Final third of his career was amazing.
Fred was not one of the best players ever
@@noahnaude1100 Final third of his career, his bowling was better then most in the world. On top of that he was an excellent catcher and he improved his batting with a solid 40 average in that final third. Best all-rounder in that final third of his career. First half he was average to the core. Don't you agree?
Hey flintoff . I saw you bat in Sharjah in the series England won. I knew the moment you hit four you would be a top notch all rounder. And you a great now...
2005 ultimate ashes that made him a hero
KP & he changed the English Cricket. Fan since 2005 ashes.
One of best all rounder cricketer in the world who balled 90+ MpH. Very rear to see nowdays.
He is the og bad boy of world cricket such a flamboyant personality I just loved way the carried himself on the field ❤️🔥
Bumble were me first coach at lancashire
Bumble*
Ohhh Lancy Lancy 🌹
England have no one like him now ..a game changer with ball or bat and a great team man who could lift the entire team when they were struggling
Stokes
Well therre is stokes
I totally forgot about stokes duh! yep he is a great alrounder just like Fred was.
@@ShantanuMukherjee4 yep I totally forgot about stokes duh!....he is a fantastic player and team man.
@@faith_in_the_future how the hell did I forget about Ben?...of course another fantastic alrounder.
Nice Human Being Fred.
Mohammad Nabi (Afg) is a BIG FAN of him
Legend
One of the GOATS.
I mean, I love Top Gear and I’m only a fair-weather cricket fan, but these are fabulous.
He played with a playfull innocence .but was still immense.A great sporting attitude as well .a class act .just ask Brett Lee.
Oh gud to see my childhood fav... Andrew
Interesting hearing him speak here, great insight. But like most people there’s a lot more to them than meets the eye, he’s very different when he’s on a League Of Their Own lol 👍.
Miss you
I alwz followed his stand of batting😍😍😍
Loved his accent ❤️
Freddy u are always awesome keep it up
Andy, the pride of Preston!
He look so young 👍
what a legend
we love you Freddie
As an Australian it pains me to say this but this was great. Very informative and Freddy seems like a great bloke.
Yes mate he is a typical northern lad. Lancashire is full of modest and friendly guys its just a pity there are not more with his talent with bat and ball! I know this because Andy is from my home town and up here we also love the Aussies and the way you have always tried to play, entertaining and skilful
He is my favourite player.he is really a class cricketer
man the guy is massive
Lancashire legend 🌹🏏
Would have loved to see him in the England legends team
Oi Freddie... Looking good with the bat... Magnificent playa..
He can take his retirement back and join the team looks young
It was filmed about 3 years ago...
@@LiamS126 seriously?
Freddie walks into any team even now
Flintoff needs to be back in the game
Anyone from the subcontinent watching this would feel he retired early. He is 43 now his last game was in 2009 which means he was 31 when he left international cricket. A cricketer as iconic as him should and could have played at least 5 more years.
It’s great to see Freddy’s transformation and how he looks younger and fitter, it’s just a shame as to how he had to do it.
His stats will never do justice showcasing the kind of player he was. He bowled at terrific pace and could nail reversing yorkers. Many key innings with the bat as well. But most importantly he delivered when the team needed him the most. Wish he didn't retire so early. There wasn't a single child who didn't idolise him when he was at his peak.
P.S. wish the rascal was as fit as he is now when he was playing 😉😂
Cameron green has the potential to become far better than this overrated, obnoxious flog ever was. Besides they already have stokes anyway.
@@poo-tinthedwarfbunkerb1tch535 green? lol. let him play a few more series
@@faith_in_the_future lol calm down mate, i didnt say green would be better than kallis or botham or kapil dev, i just said he'd be better than flintoff, provided he doesn't start binge drinking and become a fat, overweight, unfit criciketer like flintoff was.
@@poo-tinthedwarfbunkerb1tch535 let him take an international wicket first.
@@shikhargovil9579 he would as he starts bowling more and gets stronger,curently he is still recovering from a back injury and hence is being preserved.
Still a genius. Love from India. Sad he retired too early
because of knee problems.
Thank you so much bhayya flintoff 🏏
Keys’ bowling is fantastic! 🙃
my favourite English Cricketer
No:1 all rounder in the all time 😍😍
I mean... He's not but he's definitely a legend
What a fitness ? After retirement challenge for keep fit.Flintoff pass in this challenge.
Damn, that pick up shot though!
Why you retired man!!
He was role model no doubt
He should have been a part of England legend squad
I remember yuvi whenever i see him....
My childhood hero!
Come back, man!
Freddie got superpower of not aging above 35yrs...
I want an Allan Mullalley batting masterclass
Mind the windows, Tino!
Fred makes that bat look like it’s out of a kids set 🤣
When i look at the English test side...the only player they have been able to replace like to like is Freddie with stokes.
@Alexander Allsop stokes has limited opportunities at home as Anderson broad are at their peaks...with all respect to harmison and co ..this pace attack is far more superior. Stokes has delivered when it mattered...In 2018 indian visit , first test , match on the line he dismissed kohli... which set up the series... Freddy has better stats but we can't overlook stokes' impact with the ball
Aah..One of the best Masterclass by Sky. Very well explained by Freddie in detail.
Good
when was this filmed?
3 year ago around
looks fit enough to play t20
He could have had this hairstyle during his career.
bald head more aerodynamic and less weight. easy to run in and bowl faster.
@@lavarball61 😭
@@lavarball61 bruh😭😂
@@lavarball61 lol
@@lavarball61 dude, I'm dumbfounded
08:12 strike 😍
Now he presents top gear
Evryone's falling for it to b recent video, while this video's is some 4-5 even more years back😂
For real? How do you know
Stokes or Flintof who would you rather pick in your playing XI and why?🤔🤔🤔
Freddie. Batting and fielding wise, not much to separate the 2 of them, but bowling, Freddie is at least 1 league above Stokes.
Incoming millions of indian people commenting about Yuvraj
Nice to get hear early before its flooded
Well, now I know this.
That accent reminds of Spud from Trainspotting.
No not even close.
For a guy who retired 12 years ago, freddie looks bizarrely young. I don't know what compelled him in taking retirement at 31. Sad to see such talent getting wasted in England cricket.
@Fluorescentpropeller then he could have taken some leave for weeks/months. Why retirement, considering he still enjoy cricket.
Why did you retire Freddie? One of the best hitters along with Pietersen!
@ncfclee
Should have taken a break and then came back. He could have easily played for 3-4 more years
His ankles couldn't take the punisment. Too many injuries to them when he was younger and heavier, couple of operations too. It didn't help when they tried to change his action too, put more strain on his body. Add that to the fact that nobody wears proper bowling boots anymore that fasten right around the ankle to keep it upright (everyone wears low trainer style boots) and there will be more quickies retiring early like he did.
@@garyporter4198 That's a sad reality. Really enjoyed watching him bat.. and his bowling when he was in the middle of those devastating spells
The bat always looked like a small stick in his hand
