Avishek Biswas I reckon the wink was in acknowledgement that Warne had him absolutely dead plumb LBW when he was in single figures. Admitting he'd got away with one.
The extended applause that Freddie received when he first reached his 50 & eventually the century show what this knock meant for the spectators. His superhuman allround performance backed by a well balanced England team saw them tame their nemesis. This is stuff legends are made of. Didn't miss one single ball of this unforgettable series.
That 2005 Ashes win was very very special for them.. It wouldn't be an Exaggeration to say that Our 2011 WC win was what 2005 Ashes win is to them... Ended an 18 years of drought of Their Ashes..
There has been a good few great allrounders in the 50 plus years I have been watching cricket, perhaps the best being Gary Sobers, a great batsman who could ball both pace and spin and the amazing thing was when balling spin he could release the ball and then dash to the batsmans end before the ball reached him and keep wicket to his own delivery!
As an English cricket fan, I also love great players of all nations, many have given us great all-rounders over the years the great Kapil Dev from India, several from Pakisthan with perhaps Imran Khan the best, from New Zealand Richard Hadlee, several from South Africa with perhaps Kalis the best and from West Indies Gary Sobers. I have selected from players around in my time watching cricket, 1963 until today, 2021. I cannot bring to mind any great Aussie allrounders as players like Kieth Miller and Richie Benaud were before my time.
Andrew Flintoff the man with Golden arms he destroy half of the Australian batting line and batted beautifully he like challenge hits centuries and take wickets for England and a very powerful player like Mathew Haden
Technically superb hitting through the line withno mad swiping across the line; current England players take note. Great player and such a shame he was injury prone.
@@scottburbridge8378 But he *DID* have those injuries primarily due to being unfit and overweight for much of his career. And the other reason Flintoff will never be a great is he was not very strong mentally like Jaques Kallis for example. Sure, odd moments of brilliance and a big crowd pleaser, but no true consistency/longevity. Had he been mentally tough and took his fitness seriously, he would have been a great.
I’d pick big Freddy any day over Stokes in my 11. Stokes is more of a 3rd seamer, but a quality batsman nonetheless. Freddy was a beast when it came to monster hitting and could bowl at 90mph effortlessly. Freddy gets the edge as many would consider him a frontline bowler. Who could forget that over against Punter.
I don't care for his stats or how great cricketer he was but he is one of the best entertainer of all time.
Exactly
#CricketClassics he got his foot to the pitch of the ball too. A dying art in English batsmen
Give him a big match he plays big. That is Flintoff.
Just like Stokes. Both the guys don't have exceptional stats. But stats doesn't define them. Their impact defines them.
Stats may show a performance of a player but ststs will not show the ability and talent of a player
Botham, Flintoff, Stokes .... Chain of entertainers, match lifters, match winners across generations 👍🙏❤️
Followed by sam curan as well
Bhai we also have Hardik who's yet to score an international hundred
@@mohankandy4831 doesn't Hardik have a test hundred ? I might be wrong though
@@ruchirmundhra6716 yes he has I just checked
And in future it's Sam Curran
Freddie will always be remembered for his power, but his cover drives off the back foot were a delight to watch.
Can you imagine if back then he used a modern chunky bat, that wormwood bat looks like a toothpick!
Flintoff personified the 2005 ashes. What a player!
love the wink to Warnie when Flintoff scrores the century.. sort of saying silently - "i got you mate" ... cricket at the highest level ..

Then Flintoff, now Ben Stokes for Eng🙂
In 70s-80s,Botham.
@@strongnon-theist4211 yes correct
Stokes is better than Flintoff in my opinion
@@theviper5036 agreed
@@theviper5036 agree my opinion mitcheal marsh best all rounder .and sakib
These two Freedie and KP both are just above the horizon
My favourite allrounder in those days☝️
My favourite also
The English crowd are the best. They get more real in tests.. Look their support it outstanding.
I like the sticker of bat of all england batsman this is one the sweet memories of my childhood
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
That's Woodworm bro. Bat name.
Whatever stats may say but his aggression and passion made cricket a delight to watch.

That checked drive at 5:10 was beautiful. Just listen to the sound of ball on bat.
Any1 brought here by sir ben stokes’ unreal knock?
This is the Flintoff I remember. Not the guy posing for the cameras in 2009
Means?
one of the best allrounder of all time......
Great knock by great all-rounder
Terrific cricketer...my all time favorite..
My fvrt cricketer ❤❤❤
That woodworm flame though...
That's caterpillar not flame.
@@ultranationalist2820 it's the flame I remember it was the third one after torch and wand
Nice to hear the voice of the great Bob Willis. Never will be forgotten.
Freddie in my opinion one of greatest all-rounder the game of cricket has ever seen
Ian Botham
Andrew Flintoff
Ben Stokes
The legacy💪💪💪
Now stokes to sam curran
Legacy continues
@@skfighter6128 gus Atkinson,tom curran
People's Champion.....
Flintoff is the best entertainer of the history of the game❤️❤️❤️
Most Talented ,Potential Cricketer . Unfortunately Injuries made His performane and Career Short. CRICKET LEGEND 🏏🌹❤️
Ashes isn’t Ashes without flintoff .
Now same without stokes
First Botham then Flintoff and now Stokes English allrounders are out of this world
England you will never get another Freddie and another Pietersen ever.
ANDREW FLINTOFF HAD THE LEGENDERY FEATURES WITH BAT AND BALL ! MAY BE TOP 1 FOR ENGLISH CRICKET ALLROUNDERS
England always produce great all rounders
As an English cricket fan, I also love great players of all nations, many have given us great all-rounders over the years the great Kapil Dev from India, several from Pakisthan with perhaps Imran Khan the best, from New Zealand Richard Hadlee, several from South Africa with perhaps Kalis the best and from West Indies Gary Sobers.

Two of the best cricket teams of all time
Agreed💯
England 2010-13 was better than this.
South Africa and New Zealand??
what an innings..
I saw him live at trent bridge against Nottinghamshire, he took us apart! The annoying bugger ❤😂❤😂
Greatest test series I ever saw world class and champion players of that ara in his prime form
Andrew Flintoff the man with Golden arms he destroy half of the Australian batting line and batted beautifully he like challenge hits centuries and take wickets for England and a very powerful player like Mathew Haden
Amazing to think that was his last test hundred
The 2005 ashes series only flintofff and warne series what aàa both best test series no 1 ashes in 2005 in England superrbbb...
One of the best all rounders of All time....
Flintoff was Sunny Leone of cricket.
# always spectacular to watch #
Flintoff is amazing.
Beast!!
Remember the name Andrew flintoff ❤❤❤❤
I played against his sons in a county cricket match
That promo is awesome
Technically superb hitting through the line withno mad swiping across the line; current England players take note. Great player and such a shame he was injury prone.
The dominater
If injuries didn't plague him he would have a knighthood guy is a legend
Scott Burbridge
He himself was almost certainly the cause of his injuries due to poor fitness and being overweight for much of his career.
@@hyena131 I know just highlighting the fact if he didnt have them injuries he could of gone down as one of the greatest all rounders
@@scottburbridge8378

10:32 look at his expression. *.*
Great All Rounder
What a cricketing days those were ..
Handsome player ❤
He always compared with sir ian bothom both are great all rounders of English cricket
England does produce great all-rounders..
What r a amazing cricketer ❤️
What stroke play 👌
Don't compare with Ben Stokes he was a legend and best entertainer of all time
A match winner.
His nephew is my friend. I am not joking!
Ye...his nephew probably has a lotta friends like you....so it's obvious you aren't joking👍
Good innings at crucial stage.....
That Woodworm💖💖 Bat.
I believe this was also his last Test hundred

Wanted a 1080p version
One of the few English cricketers that made Shane Warne look ordinary!
9:12 Ya that shot is sensational
Ian botham, Andrew Flintoff,Ben Stokes and in future Sam Curran
In 2000s ashes,it used to be Australia vs Flintoff,he single handedly dominated Aussies.
Just one ashes here though not every
Andrew.filntof..Top.allrounder.. Ashish.Rathore..16..9..2020
1:24 beautiful Brett Lee side view
Beckham of cricket♥️🔥💯
Class
2005 year ashes was flintoff ashes...
Flintoff had both good bowling and batting combo
He could have continued his career further.
Both him and Stokes had early retirement
Sir Ian Botham, Flintoff and now Stokes
Imagine if Flintoff could have stayed physically and mentally fit from 98-02
Best all-rounder ...by indian
You need to upload modern cricket matches like 2015 ashes.
th-cam.com/video/OPsl1dpjIiM/w-d-xo.html
Very Funny run out hahahaha.... Zaroor deke
Every team needs all rounder like Flintoff .
Freddie and KP made English cricket interesting
Can we stop living in 2005? We have had other ashes success
Dominic Allin but it’s the best series ever!
But mate every video seems to be a bout it
Dominic Allin there’s only been... 8 videos of it out of 15... Hmm maybe you’re right
Watch other videos then if you don’t like it ...
Now england only loose to Aus
I think you got mad.This is present time, not past time.
if i correctly remember going off was plumb lbw against warne when he in single digit or 20 runs but umpire did not give him out
srikanth s
You are absolutely right mate.
Why isn't it part of these highlights.
Half his wickets in that series were no balls as well
Ashes cricket is great
The Ashes as it was
Shane warne bowling speed perfect for spinner
Imagine if Flintoff had today's bat in his hand rather than the relative planks of 2005.
Lol 😂. Then think about the batsmen from 90s and before then 😂
Where is shaun tait's pace?
woodworm bats and helmets wow
Everyone: Silence, knowing its no where near any players.
Warney: *CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH*
Class act though.
