The Noise of the Crowd

Andrew Flintoff delivered one of the great overs. England, Australia set 281 to win then and they were going well before he struck. The noise of the crowd was like a strike score in the winner in the cut-fives. You felt straight away that Fred had got his rhythm,. He'd kind of just gained energy from the crowd. I celebrated so loudly that my daughter started crying and filled her natter. It's not a cricket sounding crowd. No, I don't think you get that here. They're very well behaved but it does feel like an edge, bass, and shrimp bridge. Head and lead. And it does. Chris Sanford vividly remember the Flintoff over.
