During the first ODI of the Natwest series, England’s all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was crashed with the advertisement board and heart on his knee. After this accident he had to stop playing on the 2nd and 3rd match. Although he came back in the 4th match but aging had to stop for 5th day. Another player Ravi Bopara also heart by ball on hid thumb. For this he had to go to hospital. After checking he becomes sure that as small fracture on his thumb. England is thinking about them although Flintoff may come back but Ravi Bopara may not come back to the 6th ODI at the Oval.
Cricinfo has reported that Flintoff is expected to rejoin the England squad for training at The Oval on Tuesday. "He has the sore ankle again," coach Peter Moores confirmed to Sky Sports. "It's disappointing that he will miss today but quite promising that they think he will be able to get away on Wednesday.
"I feel for Fred. He's desperate to play. The medic is trying to make sure it's a new injury. It's right to be careful and make sure we look after it properly."
I think England is worried about Flintoff and Ravi. If they would not play on the 6th ODI at Oval it would be a big shock for England.
