Alex Stewart let that slip the other day in commentary. Surprising titbit from a man who as a player was the most boring man in the world. All I've ever heard him say before was "waitING...waitING............no" and then, after every day's play, "It's been competitive out there, but at the end of the game, I'll buy them a beer." No wonder our opponents always looked so chuffed, stuffing us and not even having to spend a penny at the bar.

Anyway cuntheads, he said Flintoff feels like he used to be the big hitter, and Pietersen's stolen his thunder. You can both be big hitters, twats...in fact, if you ever have a decent partnership one of these days, we'll probably fecking win by miles.

The subtext was clearly "Flintoff's a nice bloke, Pietersen's a complete cock."
 
Maybe it is the other way around because Flintoff stole Pietersen's pedalo and chundered in it while pissed.

Allegedly.
 
Vaughan suffers new injury scare

Michael Vaughan's injury jinx has struck again during England's first practice session since the sacking of their vice-captain, Andrew Flintoff.

Vaughan, who missed most of the 2006 season with a chronic knee problem, was forced to play a minimal part in England's training session on Tuesday after tripping in a pot-hole on the outfield at Gros Islet.

He immediately underwent ice treatment from the physio Dean Conway, but was unable to bat in the nets. England insisted his absence was precautionary: "He's absolutely fine," said Andrew Walpole, the team spokesman. "He fell in a small hole that was in the outfield and banged his knee."

He wasn't taken to hospital, England deciding an X-ray was not needed. But the news once again throws into doubt England's preparations for a must-win match against Kenya on Saturday.

If Vaughan is forced to miss the match, England's captaincy options - now that Flintoff has been removed from the reckoning - would appear to be between Paul ******gwood and Andrew Strauss, who has been dropped for the start of this tournament but would doubtless return to partner Ed Joyce at the top of the order.

In a further concern for England, their injured seamer Jimmy Anderson, who broke his right little finger in the build-up to the match against Canada on Sunday, also failed to bowl in the nets. He was limited to fitness drills around the perimeter of the ground, although England insisted his absence was also a precaution.

i don't buy that.

KP has an arrogance on the field which he backs up...fine by me.

Freddie bought into his own hype post 2005 and has gone downhill ever since (modelling for Asda being the low point, of course).

there was an article about Fred during the 2004 Windies tour that complained about his drinking, his machismo and his unproffesionalism. 3 years and 2 kids later and he still hasn't got a grip.

that said, i wish him all the best for tomorrow.
