With Freddie you've got someone who can get the team going in an instant, he is a genuine game changer not just in his ability but the buzz he gives off to other people, and that alone is why he was unique and rated so highly.
To all those people saying this wasn't that good etc. You've clearly overlooked how important this was in the context of the match and the series at large. If this hadn't have happened Australia would have almost certainly won the second test and would have probably gone on to a whitewash if we're being honest. Instead... well we all know what happened.
flintoff - one of the most overrated players ever. his persona built on a couple of good performances such as the ashes 2005. just a solid test player, not a great player. look at the man's stats.
@thecorneredtigers11 show me a match where kallis has helped his team when they were down under.in this match flintoff scored 73 when eng was dumped to 75-6.he had a partnership of 51 wid the last wicket.moreover while defending the modest total of 282 wid 2 days remaining he provided 2 crucial break through this single over itself n stopped the aussies who were cruising at 47-0 who smashed ashely giles n harmirson
@prasanna447 So your just going to give me his stats from one series?
He's only ever got two five-fors, also, his batting average is 32, Kallis averages 57 with the bat and 32 with the ball, the same as Fintoff with the ball! 57 with the fucking bat!!!!
as a Pakistani i have to say that hes one the best allrounder ! too sad he took his retirement early .. otherwise he'd be standing along with Sobers, Imran, Miller, Botham & kallis. :( i always loved too see him in action.. we'll miss u freddie <3
As an Englishman, I have to say that Ponting is one of the finest batsmen to grace this sport....however that was rapid quality bowling. He got the crowd going and with that he bowled better too. Punter had no chance. One of the few times I've seen him look completely out of his depth.
This is why he is so overrated. His best over ever had 7 balls because of a no-ball. Justin Langer's dismissal was dumb luck according to me. Sure it will go down in the books as b.Flintoff, but it was an inside edge. Ponting's dismissal was pretty good. All in all, a good over but not something that should be heralded as something so great.
@stylezofom good cricket isn't just about stats. Freddie's numbers aren't great, he didn't get many 5-fors and averages could be better. The reason he was brilliant was because he could change a game, just like that, through sheer passion and willpower. One team could have the momentum and Freddie could just snatch it away from them with one action. Watch this, Edgbaston 2008 v Kallis, run out v Ponting and some of his Ashes batting. Not many players can win tests on their own. He could.
@stylezofom You've seriously misjudged how much the ashes means to england then you moron. thats 4 wickets in 9 balls for flintoff there, and langer was beaten by a leg cutter so hardly dumb luck. Fred then spends the next 5 balls beating one the then best batsmen in world cricketing history all ends up. the last ball is an absolute jaffer
@stylezofom people like you clearly dont watch cricket. You look at his stats and think 'yeah he was overated', but he really wasnt. He was one of the only people who was able to change a game with the bat and the ball. He was a talisman for the team, the rest of the players got a boost when he played. Also, (except for the no-ball) how are you saying a two wicket maiden isn't worthy of his best over ever?
@stylezofom well i think andrew FlintoFF, From 2002-2008, was the most Feared Fast bowler in the world...may be along with Ntini & akhter... he was an extraordinary dowler....pace, bounce, seam, swing....every thing, u may expect From a complete Fast bowler......its sad he retired at 31....
@stylezofom i think you're missing the point quite badly here mate. He's bowling against the best team in the world and they're 47-0. England couldn't buy a wicket and freddie the all-rounder has come on and he's got batsman like ricky ponting shaking in his skin. The ashes is the pinnacle of the sport, it separates the good from the great, he revolutionised the english game with his performances and this over is an example of what he achieved. Please don't embarrass yourself again
@stylezofom classic example of someone who didnt watch the test match. This was the turning point in this test match. If we had lost this test match (which we very nearly did) we probably would have gone on to lose the ashes, as we would have been down 2-0. but instead, we narrowly won this test match and went on to win the series. This was probably the most influential over for england in the ashes
I was there that day, the whole feeling around the ground changed the instant Freddie came on, before he even took the first wicket. Everyone knew, wicket(s) coming. After that over, everyone knew we would win the game, though I think most, myself included, thought it would be that day by a big margin. How wrong could we have been!
I remember watching this live and getting goose bumps. Certainly one of the best overs in Flintoff's career - these are not rank tailenders here, it's Langer and Ponting, the two in-form batsmen in Australia's 2005 Ashes squad.
Totally agree with the top comment, Freddie could really change a game. Given the situation of the match coming into this over, given the fact that he'd been suffering from a shoulder injury, this is one of THE heroic moments in his career.
@lightrescuer i imagine your referring to mohammad amir against the aussies in the t20 world cup? hes a disgrace to cricket. rather have freddies two any day of the week
@processedtreat Ur comment is biased. I think there has been cheaters in every team. Ricky ponting in WC 2011 was clearly caught behind by Kamran Akmal but he waited the decision of 3rd umpire. He was out. Michael Atherton of England applied vaseline to the ball to swing it. Tendulkar and Dravid was caught with ball Tampering. Hense Cronje and Gibbs were caught match fixing so was Azharudin of India. Underarm incident of Aus. Yeah some Pakistani players are involved in cheating i do agree
Re: Siddle's hattrick over is better than this. Yeah, right cos taking out two of the world's best batsmen in the fourth innings of a test match that you need to win is no where near the acievement of removing England's middle/lower order in the first innings of a test match that you don't win. THERE IS NO COMPARISON. Ponting nicks the ball cos he's under serious pressure, and has never been a sound starter. Flintoff did him good and proper, awesome, awesome cricket at the highest of levels.
I really loved the English Cricket Squad in 2006... Andrew Strauss, Marcus Tresothick, Alistair Cook, Kevin Pietersen, Michael Vaughan, Ian Bell, Gerriant Jones, Ashley Giles, Monty Panesar, Liam Plunkett, Matthew Hoggard, Steven Harmison and James Anderson.
come on england! were owning the aussie's never the less flint off was one of the best! and btw aussie's no one gives a shit about cricket in england its all about football and how come aussie's never even get in the world cup ? haha
@Dan787938 considering he started it on a hat trick, how australia were settled with langer on 28. 2 LBW shouts and an edge that dropped short, getting the australian captain whose the second highest run scorer of all time with the last ball of the over turning the ashes on its head. Im quite sure it was better than average.
So awesome when on song.. Will alws remember that series.. Love the poms, hate th Aussie cricket team.. Bunch of arrogant pricks.. So much for their trash talkin in this test, stupid pricks.. I hope Johnson gets grounded now the stupid mammas boy..
A legend, but unfortunately didnt quite fulfill his potential. Could have been up there with Imran Khan, Ian Botham, Gary Sobers and Jacques Kallis as a truly great all rounder.
A legend, but unfortunately didnt quite fulfill his potential. Could have been up there with Imran Khan, Ian Botham, Gary Sobers and Jacques Kallis as a truly great all rounder.
There WAS a no-ball in there so idk lol jk; that's some fantastic stuff...I personally think it was extremely stupid--and selfish might I add--for him to quit the better, more skillful forms of cricket for the money-hungry twenty20!! I mean he'll never be able to showcase this type of skill ever again! Pretty sad IMO...
@HeRsHeYsKiSsz that's just reality of the world. Bowlers, esp., are quitting test early to reserve their talent for short format in order to make more money. Beside, test matches increase your chances of getting injured (for bowlers). As for selfishness, it is a calculated move; If a bowler was to get injured, he would simply be dropped, first from the team and then from payroll. No one will come to rescue a so he has to take care of himself and his future.
@mattavi That's untrue. Phil Tufnell, Robert Croft and Graeme Hick were genuine game-changers. Maybe not in England's favour, but don't for a moment tell me that they weren't terrific game-changers in their own right :-)
@MrSydneyKing Not a great player!! You must mean Ricky Ponting - because to bowl to Ricky and stop him getting even a run, means you have to be either bloody good or very lucky.
@WestLondonWarrior no not at all. The Aussie team at the moment is crap, and will get smashed by the English team. Probably even by 3-1. The point I made was that Flintoff is a show pony, nothing more. You never saw Glen Mcgrath do anything like that, and he was 10 time a better bowler than Flintoff.
@aussiestuff well done considering australia is at home...... If it wasn't for the English fans there would had been 0 attendances on the last 2 days.
@G00n3r4Life world record crowd at the boxing day test for all days. tickets are all sold out. the barmy army and english supporters take up very little of the crowd.
Thank you for the upload. The three deliveries before Ponting was dismissed, the ball were heading towards his stumps. Ponting guessed that the ball which dismissed him, may also be heading for his stumps, so, he prodded at it to protect his stumps. Flintoff fooled him with a leg cutter.
Sooooooo many good memories of watching this hungover on my stag do.

@aussiestuff More england fans go to australia than australians to england for the ashes and australia has dominated for the last 30 years.

Thank you for the upload. The three deliveries before Ponting was dismissed, the ball were heading towards his stumps. Ponting guessed that the ball which dismissed him, may also be heading for his stumps, so, he prodded at it to protect his stumps. Flintoff fooled him with a leg cutter.
