Freddy's Black Arm Band

[IanG]

Watching today that Andrew Flintoff was wearing a black arm band and was the only player wearing one. Just wondering if they mentioned who it was for?

On the ABC Radio they said it was a personal family matter. Wouldn't go into much detail though.

Only Hoggard gave any semblance of early control to Flintoff, who was wearing a black armband, thought to be because the grandfather of his wife, Rachael, died unexpectedly yesterday.

poor bloke, not only does he have the death of his missus' grandpa on his head, but he has had to carry his whole team through the first day.
