It's usually the funny comments which are the better ones - and they are good for the game.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
Sure, you can do without the hard personal comments, but it doesn't really happen apart from a few isolated incidents.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I'm not someone who needs to bat and bat to be in form.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I'm not too good with packing. I always have every intention of doing it the week before and then leave it until the last moment - but at least I do it myself, I don't leave it to the missus.

I'm not really someone who looks forward to the gym. But I realise it's something that I have to do to perform well on the pitch.
