Andrew "Freddy" Flintoff missed the birth of his second child, to captain the England cricket team in the latest test match against India in Mumbai this week.

Andrew returned to his Cheshire home on Thursday with a triumphant draw under his belt, a total score of 264 runs and  11 wickets to his name.

The 28 year old ashes winner made the joint decising with his wife Rachel to miss the birth of his new son Corey. He said "Thats what I wanted to do and thats what Rachel wanted me to do. Winning makes it all the more worth it, but you might not get the chance to captain your country again".

The team playing against the Indians had 5 of its ashes winning team missing, and Andrew was only the 3rd choice captian, but due to injuries to Michael Vaughan and Marus Trescothick. However, after drawing the first match and lossing the second, they came up with somethign amazing to win the final match by a stagering 212 runs. Andrew also managed to win man of the match and man of the series, with the pressure of captaincy causing his best performance in the last 2 years.

All Flintoff wanted to be last night is the best dad in the world.
