Not bloody likely.
ANDREW Flintoff's binge drinking - which yesterday cost him any chance of again captaining England - almost led him to being disciplined before the Adelaide Ashes Test last summer.
Flintoff was lucky to escape sanction when he arrived for a training session at the Adelaide Oval leading into the second Test clearly suffering the consequences of a heavy night out.
England officials then decided any penalty would have divided the team at a crucial stage of the long tour.
If Flinty was hitting the piss hard before the Adelaide Test I wonder how he fared afterwards?
A good three way swap would be for:
# Flinty to show Inzy how to drink
# Inzy to show Cousins how to throw matches... for East Fremantle
# Cousins to show Flinty how to "really" get into trouble off the field. Repeatedly.

"Some people go to bed at 10.30pm tired, other people like to go for a drink."
Ian Botham excuses Andrew Flintoff's behaviour, while the rest of the Sky commentators were less than impressed.
"The rum's too strong for me here. But I'll have a couple of beers."
Herschelle Gibbs on his muted celebrations following his six sixes against Netherlands.
Gibbs got 6 sixes (and dropped a World Cup), and Freddie got 0. Guess who got the Cousins treatment?

In other news it seems the Paki board has chucked it in...
19th: Bob Woolmer dies.
20th: Inzamam-old-hack retires.
21st: PCB Board quits.
I say we don't piss off the Pakis anytime soon, it's just possible they learnt some voodoo over there to compliment their effijy burning.

Public Dis-service Announcement.
Bear with me, people, I needed to split one post into two.
