Flintoff Finds Australian Dressing Room Company for Drinking

This comes as somewhat of a shock. At a time when Andrew Symonds was reported to have felt left out because of a lack of ‘drinking culture’ with the Australian dressing room, Andrew Flintoff appears to have found mates, only not in his dressing room.

Andrew Flintoff reported drank into the wee hours of the morning with the Australians in the Australian dressing room in Australia during the Ashes of 2007, if then coach Duncan Fletcher’s testimony is anything to go by.

Now this is not a ruse to get England’s all rounder drunk and unavailable for England, though perhaps nothing underhand can be ruled out. However, it appears Flintoff, who was given a stern warning by England captain, Andrew Strauss, and England coach, Andy Flower, over drinking last week on the trip to Belgium, has plenty of friends in the Australian dressing room, including Australian vice captain, Michael Clarke, who are more than happy to share a drink with him.

Purely tongue-in-cheek: Who can blame Symonds for being alienated in his own dressing room when he could have only added to the party...party of wayward boys, that is!
