How much more can the broad shoulders of Andrew Flintoff take? Star bowler, star batsman and now, acting Captain of England. The man has even foregone wussy paternity leave. Isn't it nice to be around when a sporting legend is in the making, someone people will be reminiscing about in fifty years' time? No need to get sentimental over past glories; Freddy is a ready made folk hero for our time.
