Should Andrew Flintoff be risked against New Zealand?

Andrew Flintoff is a quality cricketer but, unfortunately, multiple injuries throughout his career have stopped him developing even further.

Now, after a lengthy spell away from the cricketing world and the international scene, Flintoff is back. The great all-rounder has started the new county season well with his beloved Lancashire and has already impressed many of his England team-mates with his accurate bowling. Of course, Flintoff can bat and bowl but it is his bowling that looks to be firing on all cylinders.

Hopefully, the fierce batting will come once he has played a few more innings - his recent golden duck against Durham wouldn't have helped things.

As a Lancashire fan, I am really pleased for Flintoff. A lot of cricket fans have said he will not get back to full fitness and be able to destroy the Aussies like in 2005, but I think he can develop his game again to start to dominate the middle order battling.
