I hope you're right, but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes now. If he does it will be a huge blow for our Ashes hopes.
What Ashes hopes?
To win a match you have to take twenty wickets and even a fit Flintoff can't do that.
With who the selectors are choosing for our bowling attack we have absolutely no fecking chance.
You forget this is the weakest Aussie team in living memory. When they had Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Hayden, Langer and Symonds, they were nigh on unbeatable. This series has come at a bad time for them, and if England hadn't batted suicidally in the first innings, 435 could easily have become 700. I'm not fooling myself that England are a top side, just saying it's a very close call and a great opportunity to reclaim the Ashes from an Aussie team with only one great player.
