Andrew Flintoff is still having a tough time in the West Indies, according to David Hopps in The Guardian.
The nets at the Providence Stadium were under water a few days ago, not quite deep enough for Flintoff to dream of some more late-night watersports but damp enough to make them dangerously frisky as England practised ahead of their opening Super Eights game against Ireland. When one delivery went through the top, Flintoff stalked into a different net. The next ball flew off a length and struck him on the glove as he took evasive action. He immediately abandoned his net session and threw his bat 10 metres into the side netting.
