Last year was undoubtedly the peak of Flintoff's career and he will struggle to reproduce that form, he is definately being over worked and with a dodgy ankle is really struggling under all the pressure and expectations that people place on him. He is not good enough to bat at #6 and I think we all know that he is far better suited to be an attacking weapon lower down the order and he would be a good #7.

I think that without the pressure of the captaincy his batting and bowling will return to the heights they have been.

Which raises an interesting point. Having stated elsewhere that I favour Fred at 7 as part of a four man attack, it does take a bit of faith to pick Simon Jones in said lineup, given his history of breaking down. If fit, Jones must play, but I don't fancy the times when we're left with three bowlers because his knee's gone again.AussieDominance said:

It's a risk that I'd be willing to take. Jones was invaluable to the England win in 2005, and should be brought back in as soon as he is ready, a quality performer.

Actually, you don't need Jones, you only need his mints
