Its a wise time for Flintoff and England to part company in the test arena.
For Flintoff, he can cash in on the IPL and take it relatively easy in the next few years. It would be horrible for him to have more surgery and for him to struggle to look after his family.
For England, well, I think we've been disorientated for a while by Flintoff's flip flopping in and out of the side. We have struggled to find a balance with us unsure about what to do with that #6 position. His performances have been on a downward path and hes become the sort of character in the dressing room, by all accounts, that we could do without.
Thanks for the memories, but I won't really miss him!
