So nothing to do with the other 7 players who got single figures or the wicketless bowlers? Yes. he's in appalling form but it's hardly ALL down to him!
When Tresco's fit, bring him in. As Botham said earlier on TV, let Flintoff open. With the form he's in, just send him out to swing the bat and try to hit a few boundaries in the powerplays, and that if he gets out, he's doing less harm than he would when he nurdles around in the middle of the innings as he did today and gets 4 off 20. My team, for what its worth, when Tresco is available: Trescothick Flintoff Pietersen Bopara Collingwood Bell Vaughan Nixon/Davies/Foster - dependant on when Nixon calls it a day. Plunkett/Broad Anderson Panesar Batting order is then pretty flexible dependant on the situation.
