One can see where Flintoff is coming from. Retired from the Tests, playing only limited over white ball crapfests. The only honour (sort of) in the ODIs is in the World Cup and Champions Trophy(again, very subjective). He is too banged up to play this Champions Trophy. World Cup ain’t happening till 2011. He himself must not be sure whether he can keep up with it.

So why sign that stupid 5000 pound contract which the ECB is so magnamiously throwing at him? He might as well play the T20 all over the world which definitely are not half as taxing as a 50 over game (Hell, I can go through a twenty over game without major damage and so can middle aged pot bellied uncles who used to play them every Sunday at a ground near my home)

The only problem will be with the NOC that IPL asks from the boards. But then, will ECB risk looking pettyminded if and when they do not give England’s beloved Freddie an NOC and hence stop him from earning his bread (sarcasm) after he so gallantly with weak knees served his country and bought the Ashes back (heavy sarcasm). I would. But the ECB, they like all cricket boards think funny.

So you saw KP out on the town in the UK in his IPL kit? That guy will do anything for a dollar

I didn’t see many English people wearing Chennai shirts last year. The only shirt i saw anyone wear from the IPL was a RCB one.

I suppose the question will be – how much money can he make for a team/franchise before they realise the money was an ordinary investment?

And 5 year plans? Who would gamble on Freddie’s body for that length of time? Chubby is a goose
