Flintoff's fireworks eclipsed by mastery of Middlesex's Malan

If the England selectors must have been purring over the all-round contribution of Andrew Flintoff last night, they may also have raised half an eyebrow at the performance of the 20-year-old Dawid Malan.

New Zealand 266-5 England 215: Miserable England in need of Flintoff lift

The highlight of a miserable week for the England cricket team, a week that has seen the morality and ability of the one-day side questioned, took place in Brighton yesterday morning. It was the sight of a fit Andrew Flintoff (right) running up the hill at Hove and bowling for Lancashire in the LV Championship First Division match against Sussex. Flintoff has had his moments off the field but very few modern cricketers encapsulate what is meant by the "Spirit of Cricket" better than him.
