The former all-rounder of England and legend Andrew Flintoff, who was also the hero from the England side in the famous 2005 ashes series, has bitterly criticised the term bazball which is coined in the context of England’s new aggressive test cricket style.
Andrew Flintoff is not the guy who keeps an eye on the activities of the cricketing world especially the proceedings of England cricket, this is the reason why as the reporter asked him regarding baseball flintoff gave an unfiltered reaction to him. In a short chat with inews.co.uk, Andrew Flintoff said, “It’s one of the worst things I have ever heard. I’m not interested in that. They’re just playing an exciting brand of cricket that everybody loves watching”.

“I don’t know Ben. I don’t know many of the current crop. I retired at 31, which I felt was too soon. I was hoping to get a few more years out of it. I couldn’t be around it because I felt I should still have been playing and it hurt”.

Later Flintoff added the decent awareness talks going about mental health, “Marcus Trescothick and Steve Harmison led the way in cricket with mental health. It is so sad that people feel they can’t be themselves in sport. I remember when I spoke about depression and bulimia it was like a coming out. The reaction was amazing. Hopefully it would be the same if people were to come out. Let’s not worry about labels and categories. Let’s just be nice to each other”.
