May 29th, 2009 by admin

England all rounder Andrew Flintoff believes he can still be fit in time for the Ashes, despite being ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup due to injury.

I’m disappointed to not be playing in the World Twenty20 – but my main target is always to get 100 per cent fit for the Ashes. I’ve said all through my time out, it’s the dream of playing Ashes cricket and beating the Aussies that keeps me going,” he said.

Although Australia are not the force they once were, England are not as strong as many would like them to be. If England are to win the Ashes then they need Flintoff playing and 100% fit.

Let’s wish Flintoff a speedy recovery so he can help England stuff the Australians!
