Flintoff was England's top Ashes wicket-taker, with 24 victims, and one of just three batsman on either side to score more than 400 runs. He scored a vital 73 and took late wickets in a thrilling two-run win at Edgbaston, which brought the Ashes series level at 1-1 after England had lost the opening match

Behnazzz, I think you are preparing to get yourself an English-language job as a sports journalist! You have posted a lot of questions like this. However, it takes quite a bit of work to reply, and many of the questions are rather similar, so I think people are going to get tired of answering.

Best wishes again, Clive
