Andrew Flintoff
For a longtime I have been bothered by Flintoff's action. He is a big strong boy and delivers the ball with a great deal of force.
The issue Ive had for quite a while is where his front foot points. In delivery, his front foot plants towards fine leg.
This causes a great deal of jarring and stress as it is pointing away from the direction the rest of his body is going in.
It is no surprise, to someone like myself, that he is suffering from long term left ankle problems.
The stresses on his ankle must be immense. The foot is planted and the rest of the body must come over and around that ankle.
A recipe of injury.
I would have made these observations a long time ago but there would have been many saying "Noone can criticise Freddie". The time is probably right for people to have an open mind and reflect clearly on matters.
Edit- Best example I can find online showing his left foot pointing away from the direction of the rest of his body
