In which case the top 6 better score a ton of runs... |

If he only plays one decent innings in three, having Flintoff at 7 makes a massive difference to the England lineup. Without him the tail just looks too long. Even if we get to 300-4 the Aussies will know they're only a couple of wickets away from finishing of our innings.

Even if you had Bresnan in though, the top 6 need to make big scores. Bresnan's first class average is 27 and to be honest I can't see Bresnan making a Test fifty against the Aussies so he's hardly going to contribute massively.
He may have a bit more staying power than the rest of the tail but if he's not going to get many runs, I'd say there's more benefit in having an extra front line bowler.
In agree with your point though, the top 6 are going to need to make some runs. |

that's their job, in 05 many of the team stood up at different times and put in a performance - we need more of the same |

If at any point we are 100-6 then I wouldn't have much hope of winning to be honest...

Whatever criticism people level at Flintoff, the fact remains, that along with Pieterson, he is one of the few players that the Aussies actually fear.
Yes, 2005 was a long time ago now, but the massive influence that Freddie had over that series still haunts the Aussies to this day....It does baffle me that Ian Botham got an Ashes series named after him when taking on a pretty average Aussie outfit, yet, in my opinion, Flintoff's 2005 contribution, against the World's best, was much more impressive a feat.
Simple fact remains that if England are to win (and I believe they won't), then Flintoff will have to have a big series, because England do not possess anybody close to him in terms of sheer presence.

Hughes and Ponting already back in the hutch, Aussies 30-2 against the Lions.
One each for Onions and Harmison.
England experimenting with two spinners in the Warwickshire game...
