"F-f-f-f-fuckkkkkkkkk".Oh Freddie Freddie Freddie. When shallst thou be healthy again?
There are yet more reports that the big man will require another operation on his dodgy knee after the Oval Test match. That'd make Freddie the most operated-on man since David Busst snapped his leg in about 24 places.
He's clearly struggling though, but despite that Andrew Strauss made the strange decision to bring him on to bowl when messrs Siddle and Hilfenhaus were occupying the crease late in the Aussie innings. Surely a Harmison, or an Anderson would have been a better option, considering their not limping around on half a leg?
Still, you can't knock big Fred. He keeps bouncing back, thundering in off his long run-up, and defying the physiological odds. If he is to have another operation, he'll be ruled out for the ODI's against Australia, and the much hated Champions Trophy in SA in September. That'd put us right in the brown stuff, with KP already ruled out of both competitions.
Any other normal person would be dead by now, but after hundreds of injuries, thousands of operations, and millions of miserable mugshots, Fred is still with us, and battling on with the rest of the England boys as they approach a memorable victory at the Oval that will see the Ashes return to the place it belongs.
