About Me

Freddie is a hard hitting, fast bowling, larger than life character who has developed into the fans' favourite - the one they all come out of the bars to watch. Although he has suffered through injuries, he has emerged recently fitter than ever and looking ready to establish himself among the all-time greats. He worked up to 90mph pace with the ball and eclipsed Ian Botham's six-hit record for one-day internationals, in half the number of matches. Man of the Match in each of the three one-day internationals against Bangladesh at the start of the winter tours, he inevitably won Man of the Series honours and was hailed by Michael Vaughan as a true English hero. Scored 167 runs in the 2004 Test at Edgbaston v West Indies and once again claimed Man of the Match.
