Warne: "Flintoff is best bowler in the world"

Certainly not the best all-rounder, since his batting is totally spent.

not like he is competing with the 2 Ws or Ambrose or Mcgrath.

or A Donald...

Only Steyn is significantly better than A Flin

I don't know what Warne wrote in the newspaper but in the Sky interview shown today he didn't say Flintoff was the best bowler in the world. He said he thought that Flintoff was key to England winning the Ashes. But he did say he thought Ponting and KP were the two best batsmen in world cricket right now.

I thought it was a very good interview by the way. What he said about Australia's current side and spin bowling and Monty was all very interesting to listen to.

"Andy Flintoff is the key to England winning the Ashes," Warne, a new commentator for Sky Sports, said. "Not so much his batting but his bowling. He is the best bowler in the world right now. He drags his team along, with his personality, he is inspirational."

He did alright in India, and he's been better than a kick in the arse in theWindies, but he's not more effective that Steyn or even Johnson.

Aye, I expect him to come out soon and pump up the PHS and that crap spinner with the tea-towel.

Steady on. We know TGM isn't the sharpest tool in the shed when not playing the game, but nobody in their right mind would go that far.
