So good to hear Fred talkin about cricket! Such a wealth of knowledge. Sky should use him more.

Who didn't copy this action growing up 😀..... was unplayable when he was on song. Reverse swing, extreme pace and hostility. He might not have the best stats but he did alot for the game through his 2005 Ashes exploits.

You just knew watching Freddie he was a better bowler than his stats suggested. When he had his tail up he was a high-quality bowler.

Flintoff is one of my heroes truth be told. I really loved the way he played his cricket. He played with a lot of fun,lot of passion and had a big impact in the team . Even though injuries curbed his cricketing career and made it short but whenever he used to play he made sure he made a good impact for the team. Especially 05'

Freddie bowled 85-90+ in his absolute prime (2003-2008) with swing and cut, stokes hits 82-83MPH max and swings it more I’d say, you’re scared of one, but respect the other

He was my favourite player from England. He could have become one of the best all rounder in world cricket but unfortunately injuries ruined it. Love Freddie from India

I absolutely loved his action. Tried to copy many a times. Looks very freeing and effortless 🔥❤️

One thing about English players is that they make u love the game.

Miss this guy. Freddie you are a legend! Looking amazing pal 👊🏽✌🏽🙏🏽

what you are missing out on is his hair. I remember him, without fail, always with those extreme short hair, unkept look. Looks way better now :P

My generations Ian Botham. Absolutely brilliant player. That over at Edgbaston to get Langer and Ponting out is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Flintoff looking absolutely fabulous n game ready. I used to mimic his & Harmison's run up as a kid .

Freddy Flintoff for England in Tests, Yuvraj Singh for India in ODIs & T20s might not have big individual records but they won lot of matches for their team.

Excellent stuff from Flintoff and Keys. Entertaining and insightful. Flintoff is doing a bit of a schwarzegger at the moment. 3 careers so far for hin and still looks young and fresh

Mind the windows, Tino!

He can come back any time, what a shape he is in

Always loved his action. Lovely cricketer

What a talent

Wow he aged like wine.. Man this guy got amazing genes

I think Freddie is such a nice bloke too. Glad he doing good with Top Gear!!

I think freddie was an amazing cricket player so entertaining an absolute game changer , bat and ball he did it all🏏

My favourite cricketer of all time! He was brilliant was our Freddie! one of the greatest English cricketers of all time...

What a guy...arrogant,style,anger all like a fast bowler ...respect mate..

Thanks Sky Sports for bringing Freddy.👍👍👍 He still looks the same.👌👌👌

If he was this fit in his playing days, he would have gotten fewer fitness issues & it would have enhanced his performance & longevity.

Scary good between 04 and 08. Can remember him bowling on flat pitches in India and had the batsman jumping all over. Must of been scary as f*ck facing him

My favourite bowling action...

Both are doing very well for themselves

After watching to the end, there’s Only one thing missing, they never talked about the technical side of bowling from Fred’s view, foot work, timing, arm speed, front arm, shields, all of that missing! Do another video please Freddy!

He was my favorite fast bowling allrounder back then.

Respect, Freddie!

Flintoff the best. 2005 Ashes the best Ashes ever. Thanks to Freddie's marvelous Ashes that year England won it.

Freddy's was is an absolute legend.👌👍👍👍

@@nirajsingh8830 He's one of those players where the stats don't reflect how good (and often great) he was. All the top players said they hated facing him. If he didn't get them out he would soften them up so they would get out to a loose shot against Giles or another seamer. His ODI bowling stats reflect his talent much better but after his first 4 years he became a special bowler in tests too. His batting was more erratic but he always had the capacity to change a game and put the opposition on the back foot in any game situation.

My favourite all rounder ❤️

6:06 Freddy would have adapted his bowling to counter 'these fancy shots' of today. He'd have been playing them as a batsman too !

Freddie is a legend. And he mentions, among others, how Ab de Villiars changed the game... but I wonder, how many batsmen can really emulate his strokeplay or range? He sure has influenced others... but nobody has been close to matching him!!

Thank you Sky

I really love his bowling action his aggression on the field and his power hitting was something else.

Many of you are wondering about his fitness even at this age. Probably many dont know after retiring from cricket he became a professional boxer, thats what kept his fitness till now even much better than before.

Great video

Having Freddy in your team is as good as having 3 players.
