Well I dont mind Flintoff getting an award as much as I feel Ponting and Dravid were the only people who deserved it. Well I dont think the Ashes is the no 1 contest in the world. It proves nothing. Australia is struggling against Bangaldesh even , so will the highest scoring Bangladeshi be the next Wisden award winner. I think Wisden is highly biased and all they want to do is promote their cricketers and Aussies over others. This is pure crap.. Btw Flintoff maybe the best allrounder but is no great batsman, a lot of his runs even in India were due to sheer luck.
Yes I agree, Flintoff is a good player. He may be the right choice for the honour. But anyway, why care about an award given by a 99% England biased magzine.
