When you bowl at him you are not just trying to get him out, you are trying to impress him. I want him to walk off thinking 'that Flintoff, he's all right isn't he? I feel privileged to have played against him.

We have to take care of our own game. There's only one place we've got to stick up for ourselves and that's the pitch.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
But there is no danger of my not concentrating on cricket. I'm comfortable on the pitch, and that will never change. I have to remember what I do for a living

While I'm at second slip I'm not just thinking of what I'm going to have for tea. I'm considering the match as well, wondering how I can help, if there is anything I can offer.

I can lose my temper from time to time, but I try not to lose it on the pitch because it can't help.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
A lot of the lads have a bat for the nets, a bat for facing the bowling machine and a separate bat for the match. I'll just crack on with a bat until it breaks - then crack on with another one.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
There are times when I have felt the pressure, but at the moment I play cricket the only way I can.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I'm not really superstitious - I don't have any lucky charms or a mascot.
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.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated. What more could you want?
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I'll take my iPod - though I'm not very good with gadgets to be honest - and that has everything I like.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I always listen to music before I go out to bat. Any track, really, just whatever I feel like at the time.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to facing Brett Lee again. He bowls at 95mph so enjoyment is not the word I would use.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
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.
