ENGLAND’S 2005 Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff last night gave a dressing room rallying cry following Australian domination of the second day of the opening npower Testin Cardiff.

MICHAEL VAUGHAN joked that being bowled out by his three-year-old son was enough to tell him it was the right time to retire from professional cricket.

England cricket star Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff has apologised for the late-night drinking binge at the World Cup which led to him being sacked as vice-captain.

AUSTRALIA intend to fully examine Michael Vaughan’s fitness when England’s 2005 Ashes-winning captain returns to international cricket.

ANDREW FLINTOFF is confident he has seen enough of a response from his under-fire England squad to believe they can be competitive in the remainder of the Ashes series.
