Matthew Hoggard reveals, in his column for The Times newspaper, that he is delighted that Andrew Flintoff has taken over the captaincy for the short-term, because it means that the burdens bowlers face are sympathised with quite nicely - and not before time.
It made a nice change to have a fellow fast bowler as captain. Usually, the captain is a batsman who doesn’t really understand what pain we poor fast bowlers have to enhdure, ploughing through our long spells in the extreme heat. Andrew understands all too well and would say: "You’re hurting now, aren’t you? Have a break." It was nice to have a bit of sympathy for a change.
