General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Yes, cricket is his day job, but wasn't he chosen to represent his country, supposedly a great honour, surely there would have been many who would have loved that opportunity?? Not only that he was chosen as Vice Captain, a leadership role. What kind of respect can he expect from any junior members of the squad now?? Whether he likes it or not he is representing his country both and OFF the field.

I believe the day/night of the incident they LOST against New Zealand, what's to celebrate?? Going out drinking until 4 am?? Surely they should have been up at the crack of dawn at the practisce nets??

Flintoff is quoted as saying that even though he was drunk and mucking around in water his life was not in danger. Oh yeah? Excessive alcohol and night time water sports do not mix.

What kind of a role model is he for young crickets? It makes me really angry to see someone so obviously talented, given a great opportunity to piss it up against the wall. If the pressure is too much - resign and go do a 40hr week like most people. No round the world 1st class hotels and travel with that kind of job.

The English cricket team doesn't have a monopoly on bad behavious just about every football code in Australia have more and more cases of players being hauled over the coals for drink driving, fights in/outside nightclubs, assaults on women, etc. It's lack of self discipline amongst other things. It makes me so MAD. Bloody prima donnas.

Better make myself a mug of that nice soothing Chamomile tea and go and have a lie down now!! Nowt like getting it off your chest.
