Product Description
In an era of cricketing superstars, 'Freddie' Flintoff outshines the rest. His magnificent spell of fast bowling at Lord's and his electrifying run out of Ricky Ponting at The Oval were major turning points in the recapture of the Ashes by England in 2009.
It was victory in the 2005 Ashes series that cemented Flintoff's place in the nation's heart, when his match-winning performances helped England regain the Ashes after eighteen years. In Ashes to Ashes he writes not only of his many highlights but also reveals his feelings of frustration during his periods out of the game through ankle and knee injuries, and the anxiety that has followed the major operations he has had to undergo.
For many years, Flintoff has been the spearhead of the English bowling attack. Moreover, with his powerful hitting and his frequent heroic performances he has so often spurred on his colleagues and thrilled his avid fans. Flintoff provides an insider's account of the build-up to the long-awaited 2009 Ashes series in which he played such a vital role.
Andrew Flintoff's lively and very personal account of his last four years of Test cricket is both informative and compelling.

"Freddie is a very humble man considering the press & media attention he receives here in Britain. Primarily for his achievements for the three years up to and including the glorious summer of 2005. For those three years he was as good a player as England have ever had. As good as Sir Ian, Boycott, Grace et al. He talks very honestly, giving his account of the four years between the historical home victories in the ashes.
I enjoyed the book, I would've liked Flintoff to go into more details about specific conversations, with Duncan Fletcher, for example. There are some instances where he just brushes the surface, I would have liked him to go a bit deeper in detail. Having said all of that I still recommend it to any England cricket fan"
