Badger is English for beaver right? ; )

Don’t know why you’d call it a “he”

I actually think for a man who had just taken a hat-trick it was quite a reserved celebration. Infact Flintoff’s celebrations are a lot more reserved than some of his team mates.

Actually, it may well have been Simon “The Analyst” Hughes. Aggers always sounds faintly amused. By anything. I like Aggers.

Mahinda that is a spelling mistake or some such other lapse of concentration although as a bloke with a young family one would hope perhaps that Flintoff celebrates to the max but remains celibate on tour?

On’t radio – Yeah I heard that. I always liked Eric Cantona. Was it Aggers or Simon Hughs – Hughs never sounds impressed?

That’s all very well, but what about today’s big news?

You know of Whom I speak…

668, do you really want Freddie to “celibate how he likes”..?

I had the pleasure of listening to most of the WIndies’ innings ont’ radio, but am still not quite sure I heard what I thought I did. Specifically, Colin Croft saying that Freddie reminded him of Eric Cantona and Cristiano Bloody Ronaldo. Aggers didn’t sound particularly impressed.

I quite like the new fashioned Windies running at speed round the field like a crazed gazelle whilst pointing wildly celebration!

Now now Sam! I shall not be tempted…. yet! Give me a while longer in the born again Flintoff love zone!!

I would rather see a return to the days of auld when in India he celebrated taking the winning wicket of an ODI by taking his top off and swinging it round his head whilst galloping into the covers.

Not quite as tasteless as James Corden de-robing, but showed some humility.

The sideways pose with deadpan face reminded me of something a certain arrogant Frenchman with an upturned collar used to do.

I don’t think anything beats the old-fashioned WIndies high fives celebration. Even the Brett Lee lawnmower.

I still don’t have Sky so no posturing seen, I can report that off the field he still comes across as the ordinary nice bloke on the occasions when I was in his vicinity recently. At Sabina Park and also at the Everest ground where the England team were training in Guyana there were lots of local fans, and he did loads of autograph stuff – refusing no one.

The team were on my flight to Guyana and he was all smiles and said hello while the rest of the team trundled past ashen faced – it was early and they were going to jam their long legs into economy seating. With his height he should have been in a millionaire sulk with the rest of them.

He was probably relieved to be playing again. lets face it we are a bit short on wicket taking bowlers on flat pitches, so he can celibate how he likes. There is always the cover your eyes option. Or just listen on the radio for painless wicket celebrations!

Badgers – nightmare back seat drivers!
