BOLD BUT NOT BEAUTIFUL

Andrew Flintoff is a household name in england,second only to david beckham....the recently-made-up-star from the victorious english side released his autobiography "being freddie"....the book hit the stalls recently and has already sold a million copies...."freddie" chose to point his finger at the captain of the indian cricket team....the be-all of the indian cricket team was accused of complacency while playing for lancashire and was branded as "a difficult player to get along with"....not so long ago,in those good old times of indian cricket(compared to the present mournful state),freddie was a boredom and ganguly had already reached stardom....a couple of incidents took place,it seems that made freddie feel that ganguly was a complacent,egoistic and a difficult person to get along with....this could be true,no doubt....but my point of view is that freddie still a long way to go and this is a comment of a great magnitude,given the helpless state of ganguly....flintoff has just added a little fuel to the fire,and it would take ganguly to slam flintoff for sixes when the latter tours india to extinguish the "the little more fuel added fire"....the two have a great on field as well as off field rivalry,thanx to their humorous,ferocious,breath taking,SHIRT TAKING heroics,which any day,SALMAN KHAN would have been proud of....ganguly,the master of dancing-down-the-wicket sixes,has 10,000 ODI runs to his fame and flintoff makes a bold comment on ganguly....flintoff still has a long way to go,he has only played 90 ODI's and his bowling and batting averages would and could only be the envy of the bangladesh cricket side put together,n he makes a comment on ganguly????freddie,this is a comment that should be made after u go down as probably,one of the best all rounders of the game....save ur face n dont ever do a SALMAN KHAN in india for one priced wicket of a "genuine" tail ender....u have come a long way and u still have a long way to go.
