Lancashire have announced this morning that Andrew Flintoff is coming out of retirement and will play for Lancashire Lightning in the t20 blast

Comeback match for Freddie is now likely to be the Roses battle at Old Trafford a week today providing be pulls up ok after a couple of games over the weekend & next week with St Annes & Lancs 2nd XI.

Bring It On !

Playing for his old club team St. Annes, Flintoff took 3 for 26 in 12 overs but only scored 2. Apparently Lancashire are now saying that his place in their T20 team for the Roses match on Friday is not guaranteed.

I noticed over the weekend that Warwickshire are playing their t20 fixtures under the name 'Birmingham Bears'
Don't they play any other of their home fixtures outside Birmingham
