Flintoff and Brett Lee During the Ashes

[hashpuppy101]

youve got to love the ashes. theres so much of wry humor and history.and the one country thats capable of better humor than cricket.

[FordmanFender]

Just remember,5-0 ya celery sandwich eating faggots.....

[hinckleyit]

@FordmanFender

You're only as good as your last series!

[vilkwang]

@FordmanFender

Keep living off the past fella. It's all you've got at the moment :).

[lukequixotesanjose]

@FordmanFender

3 innings defeats... ;)

[MrCricket90]

celery sandwich ? i don't think i've ever seen a celery sandwhich you cunt ...

[G00n3r4Life]

@FordmanFender 3-1, 3 victories by an innings, crikey mate.

[MrBen51309]

I'm an aussie and I laughed at this.

[PARTHURT]

No. unmensunshine. You 'Aussie Barsted'. It's every two years!

[2000Badguy]

hAHAHAHA

[whizkidalay]

What a character!!! Have got to love Freddie!

[Rentaghost76]

Flintoff told him

"We've got your kids and wife, so watch yer step"

Totally out-psyched Lee for the rest of the series

[benlitt47]

uncle jonathan, yer laugh man sort it out

[MrWankSock]

This is really a anecdote for speeches. Flintoff did not actually say that, It was a true moment of sportsmanship between 2 civilised nations playing a gentlemanly sport. Flintoff's gesture obviously meant a lot to Brett Lee, and in my opinion, was a fine moment for the sport.

[iain075]

@MrWankSock Totally agree mate. Tops.

[unmensunshne]

good on ya england.believe me all aussies love a close ashes contest rather than a whitewash.you deserve this series..see ya in 2 years

[dartmoordog]

No worries mate. Where would we be without the Ashes. It is what makes our countries so great.

[unmensunshne]

the ashes are the envy of all cricket nations,we are so lucky..After k.pietersen got injured i thought aussies 3-1 but the poms dug deep & found that lost pride.you see no england-no ashes..& visa-versa.

[dartmoordog]

Thats the way I see it buddy. I am a proud Pom, and England will always come first, but next to that it would be Aussie all the way. Long live the Ashes.

[unmensunshne]

yeah right..dont they play a series every ten years..cause they hate each other so much the pep talk in the sheds would be the highlight.

[kingpinontube]

But when the INd and Pakis play England and Aussies + the rest of the cricketing world actually take notice unlike the Ashes which is hardly a series amongst equals. Look at the previous series in AUS 5-0 to aus.. OH that is close isnt it.? DUH

[zach336]

why? coz u kill each other?

eng/aus is both nasty and friendly. awesome rivalry

[kingpinontube]

Lol... 5 - 0 very friendly it sounds one sided boring overhyped to me. Maybe the ashes should be played only in Eng and the english should be allowed to doctor the pitch then maybe you can have a contest.

[zach336]

i meant that its friendly between the two sides.

and that 5-0 victory was the perfect tonic after losing in 05.

did you watch this year? want it to get any closer?

im not saying the pak/ind rivalry is bad. its amazing actually. but what we share (aus/eng) is something special

[The0n3the0nly]

ashes coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JackLunn1992]

2-1 oh yeahhhh

[enrji]

IT'S 1-1 YER POMMY BASTARD ;)

[JackLunn1992]

Hmm having fun are we 550 runs down?

[vilkwang]

How's that humble pie tasting Jack? :)

[JackLunn1992]

Yummy

[dynomo69]

now u look a bit stupid dont ya;)

[emily100094]

just brill

[shoe337]

I'm Aussie and I love that kind of banter, cricket would be poorer without it.

[G00n3r4Life]

what a legend

[Doccaau]

That's beautiful. Just beautiful. Love it Freddy. And that Lancs accent just adds to it.

Obviously once you're finished keeping cricket fans from Australia like myself up till 3am in a few weeks time you'll be hitting the after dinner speech circuit.

How this bloke's test bowling average is over 32 is a mystery to me, and also I reckon it's a mystery to Gilchrist, Katich, Langer, Hayden, Hughes......

[exxcalibur1973]

Hello the Guardian form OZ. Mitchell stinks. We lose. Bring back Brett and Clark!

[tonysmalls07]

go on freddie!! legened!!! and a preston lad too!!!

[4054613]

He's a legend. Cant wait for the ashes in 09. CAR'N the aussies.

[matt271986]

Good luck mate, should be an interesting few weeks. He is a legend but I think slightly over-rated. Couldn't help noticing your name is that your old inmate number? Lots of love from England

[HCWshow]

what the hell did he say at the start? Some english person please give me subtitles.

[viking272]

Interview: Can we go back to the 2005

Freddie: I'd loved too! [i.e. reliving the victory etc.]

Great story - he's quite the character!

[stealthpakfa]

i hate the poms but flintoff is tha man!

[FTM666]

fucking class!

[sukmydikashol]

what did he say? hard to pick up british accent for me

[AmusingPseudonym]

"It's 1-1 ya Aussie bastard!"

[mattsaints21]

lol i like that!! Even being an aussie..

[tridantking]

lool what a joker...he didnt atuly say that though

[widgit007]

A beautiful moment.

[Hagaren2107]

your a tosser

[ZeroWolf1985]

No, BRETT LEE IS A FUCKING CHUCKER. Should be banned in a fair world.

[scottyh007]

speakin of chuckers.. your the biggest tosspot going around!!

[artichoke15]

uuuh, he IS joking you know?

[mattsaints21]

yeah i know that!!! i like it!!

[mattsaints21]

lol that was very funny! Don't mind Freddy..

[dodger664]

hahahah

[LiverpoolChick12]

Classic!

[allthatjazzlejazzhot]

Wait... what? I didn't understand what Flintoff said. "It's 1-1, Aussie."? Is that it? Can someone tell me?

[lt543]

"its 1-1 you aussie bastad"

[CostelloEmpire]

Freddy's ace. Entertaining on and off the field

[usernamealredytaken]

Funny man, we need him back fit & on form!

[rhswlsc]

FUCKING CLASS!

[lapalad]

I thought Flintoff was asking Brett Lee for swimming lessons

[thunderrabbit123]

why would you think that??

[lapalad]

Don,t you remember him being rescued in the West Indies from the ocean.

[ewarmisham]

haha oh right fair enough nice one

[Binga81]

Haha that was gold

[dalearmy]

haha

[blitzer1110]

hahaha niceee

[marcofaccini07]

classic =

[jask2]

once there was a crow he was thirsty

[enamulhasan]

two fagg...s noo noo three

[chadsexinton]

are you the third?

[ernestperea]

Well said backtobedlam

[backtwobedlam]

Anyone here remember, it's just a game. Grow the f&*% up will ya's.

[roversrule87]

hahaha FREDDY FREDDY FREDDY! He's a true sport, doubt he said that.

[garygoodbloke]

Where does all this anger and hatred come from? Really sucks. I'm Aussie, I think this is a great story by Freddie, a great man. I doubt he really said that, but he's funny as all hell here. louisandliv, the build up is what makes the punch-line, you can't have one without the other.

BTW, it's hard enough to get to the top, but it's harder to stay there, as this English team showed. It's the difference between form and class.

[tkwilson1970]

I agree garygoodbloke. There is some right hatred between Aus and Eng for no good reason. I think Brett Lee is a top bloke. Plays to win but a gent. I was never over keen on Merv Hughes, he took it too far.

[Jarrod169]

u poms didnt even hold the ashes for a year coz we won 5-0 lol

roys rebels and husseys heros!!!!!

[leeds0united]

your mum was a winner when she came round my house last night mate.

[Jarrod169]

woah real good

[Muff0]

nice come back........

[leeds0united]

im not the one who posts videos about naked streakers mate. you gay twat.

[pixieeater]

Oh dear mate, a "your mum" joke. Are you 11 years old?

[tysonritteryouledge]

ahaha wat a comment by the classic freddie.

juss givin the Oz players a taste of their own medicine.

n as for the roos on here, "you say fuck off, we say flint-off!"

long live Britain!!!

x

[dannylatics]

go on freddy, classical!!!

don;t be so bitter you aussie bastards lol

[manwitpain]

true dannylatics,, let'em oz bastards go tell every one that

"dingoo stole the series mate" like they said "dingo stole my baby mate"

[chikkinikki]

Let's take a lot at some Ashes history shall we? Who currently has the Ashes? Australia (5-0 I might add). Who's won the most matches between the two during the Ashes? Australia. Who's taken the most runs of the two teams? Bradman (Australian). Who's taken the most wickets of the two teams? Warne (Australian). Check the facts before you come out with a totally unrelated comment.

[louisandliv]

i must admit that it was kinda funny, however, he didnt have to talk for about half an hour about what was going on in the game

[enrji]

it was you people that populated and formed this country you dumb f*ck..

hahaha and freddie how does 5-0 sound you pommy bastard..

Australia = Cricket

[123jordanford321]

The best thing to ever happen to ure shitty cocky country is us takin it over and teachin u how to play sports like cricket and rugby... otherwise ud all be shaggin kangaroos.. aussie cunts

[BigFreaks]

123jordanford321, You couldn't beat Australia in cricket if they didn't even show up for the game. PS, Only the dumbest of dumbassess cuss Australia with sterotypical crap like you just did. But then again, you probably don't know the meaning of the word.

[tanzedog]

if were so shit at cricket how come we beat sri lanka 2 nil nd u lost 1 nil 2 them oh yeah nd btw thanks 4 beating us in thas series since then we havent lost a single test match

5-0 U POMMY FUCKING BASTARDSS

[pubuman]

We only beat Sri Lanka 2 - 0 because a twat called Rudi decided to end one of the most sublime pieces of cricket ever seen on our shores, that's why... else it would have been 1 - 1 without a shadow of doubt... at least I can admit it!

[ajfsx]

wtf is he saying? it is like he's having mouth spasms fucking english shitty accents

[intelligentdesigner]

I guess you need a good sense of humour if you play cricket for England.

[nikko032]

aahah that was actually pretty funny. yeah i know he was joking mate. flintoff is unreal.

[ball2goal]

that is the way to go freddie

[nikko032]

wtf did he say? cant understand your bloody pommy accents you ugly cunts.

[frobishero]

Why, cos we don't speak like someone's squeezing out nut-sacks?? "It's one-one you Aussie bastard". And he was joking, he didn't really say that before you start getting uptight.

[wootoon]

fukin well sed m8

micheal vaughans barmy army

[crsyo]

really didnt domwba

[domwba]

fuckin funny lol i wonder if he did say that
