Flintoff and Steve Harmison (left) are firm friends and the main weapons for an English side threatening to reclaim the Ashes from Australia.
Shane Warne calls Flintoff 'one of the good guys in international cricket' but former Australia captain Steve Waugh might have suggested more mind games, more 'mental disintegration', to unsettle the giant Lancastrian.
It probably wouldn't work.
'I'm not clever enough to understand psychology,' Flintoff says with a huge grin.
For him, cricket, the spirit and humour are all that matter.
