The Daily Mail's Paul Newman meets Andrew Flintoff in a frank and open chat about his comeback to international cricket.
'I was sat on the balcony at Lord's after we had gone four up in the one-day series against South Africa,' said relaxed and rejuvenated Flintoff.
'Everybody had gone, I had a beer in my hand and I just sat there and thought about everything I'd gone through over the last 10 months. I couldn't believe how pleased I was. How much I'd enjoyed being part of that, to be back in the England team winning games.
'There were so many low moments, so many times when I wondered if I would ever be sat there again like that.'
The return of a fully-fit and firing Flintoff was the story of the summer.
