Looking to win my place back
Well we're in now and looking forward to the matches against Sri Lanka and the Aussies.
I played in the first two games of the tournament and was reasonably steady so I’m disappointed not to have played since - but there is still opportunity for me to get back in to the team in the remaining games.
There was quite a bit of talk about the team’s discipline in St Lucia and the fact is we shouldn’t have been out so late. We have said sorry, accepted our punishment and want to put this behind us now.
Everyone is clued into the cricket and regardless of all those bad headlines, this World Cup has been a good experience.
This is a beautiful place, a great destination, but it’s also a fantastic place to play cricket. Everything about it has been magnificent.
You've been continuing to send in questions for me, so here are my answers to a few of them:
From A Findlater:
What do you consider more important in ODIs - good economy but poor average, or good average and poor economy?
It’s always nice to take wickets to help bowl teams out. One thing I do struggle with is the economy rate, but that and taking wickets do go together - if I can keep things tight, the wickets will come. I’ve managed to take them even though I’m not bowling tight. I’ve found here you can’t really bowl teams out by nipping the ball all around the place. Economy comes with experience – you learn to get the ball in the right areas more often.
From Jonny Rogers:
What is your general fitness regime to stay in good shape - like amount of running, swimming,weights you do in a normal day to be match fit?
It varies for different cricketers. I like to go running three times a week, but some days I will do aerobics and on other days weights. I like to come back, do some stretching and then have a swim. Fitness is a big part of my regime and I love doing all that.
From Craig M Cullen:
Who is the best bowler you have ever seen?
That’s a tough one to narrow down because you have two categories of bowler. Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan are great spinners and too because even though he doesn’t bowl at lightning pace he hits the right areas with such monotonous regularity. But for me the best has to be Freddie Flintoff. I play with him and even in the nets he doesn’t bowl a lot of rubbish. He’s done a lot for England and he rarely gives much for the batsmen to get after.
From Firsttimer:
When you stand there ball in hand looking at the batsmen the nerves must be intense, how on earth do you cope with that - it must be tough?
The key is to treat each situation the same, whether it’s a top-class batsman or a tail-ender. I just try to mentally picture where I want to put the ball, try to relax by thinking of a song that I like and other positive things. If you get into the same mind-set each time and keep doing the same things over and over again, there is no room for nerves or fears to creep into your mind.
From Emma Louise:
I heard Michael Vaughan got you and Belly to give presentations to the rest of the team - what did you have to talk about? Do you think it was a worthwhile exercise?
It was actually the coach, Duncan Fletcher. He got us to think about cricket and asked me to speak to the lads about bowling at the death - yorkers, slower balls and things like that. Belly had to talk about playing against spin and how he approached it. It really did get us thinking about the game and I really enjoy that - the mental preparation.
From Sammi Cuthburt:
What is it that you miss most about being away from home so much?
Well, to be honest not much. Obviously you want to be with your family and friends but I’ve been given the opportunity to play for my country, something you dream about. It’s a privilege.
sorry but as much as I rate Freddie you CANNOT begin to compare him to Warnie, Pigeon or Muli!

Complain about this postFreddie? The best bowler you've ever seen? You haven't seen much Liam. What about Wasim Akram?
Complain about this postOf course Daniel in post 2 you are far better placed to say who the best bowler is.
remind us of your international cricket credentials...
Basically you may disagree, and I do, but at least Liam gave a reasonable reason why.
Complain about this postDaniel - too much sugary food and drink?
That's not what he said.
Complain about this post"The best has to be Freddie Flintoff"?
Complain about this postHe's a very good bowler I know, but don't you think Murali, Warne, to name but two recent bowlers, might be better?
Who's the best batsman you have:-
a. bowled to
Complain about this postb. not bowled to?
flintoff the best bowler in the world? everyones entitled to their opinion but cmon??? u got to be kidding me??
Complain about this postLiam, you need to learn from Freddy, his aggression and accuracy, his bounce length balls, slow fingers over the seam ball, angled ball to lefties around the wicket, the one that holds it own to gilespie/ haden, and of course the fast 90mph yorker into off stump to tailender. Also more metronomic L & L consistency that Mcgarth generates.
Freddy is consistent, can control and vary the bowling. Sajid and you need to learn from Freddy. Sajid needs more accuracy, less wides and consisency. Liam you need to get up to 90mph with a few deliveries to make the batsmen uncomfortable
Complain about this postI think England needs to be a lot more aggresive through out their innings, in other words they appear to be too careful and they tends to wait until the final ten overs to really get going and that makes them very unconvincing.
Complain about this posti,m happy to hear you say that you are enjoying the caribbean, especially st.lucia.
Complain about this postDoes it really matter whether Plunks said Flintoff, Warne or Akram. Being his column he can put his opinion into it. Maybe he thinks Flintoff is the best because he is training with and learning from him everyday.

Complain about this postEnough of this cronyism - FF doing it in nets versus Warney, Pigeon & Murali doing it for real - you've gotta be kidding!
Complain about this postI presume Flintoff as the best bowler should have been posted on 1st April.
Complain about this postLiam,
Simple question really, saw you in KFC in Rodney Bay, St Lucia the other week, but didn't get to say hi. just wondering what your choice from the KFC menu would be (far better than some of that creole stuff)?
Complain about this postLOL Freddie Flintoff best bowler he's ever seen - good joke.
Complain about this postLiam much was made of Troy Cooley's departure back to Australia in the press and how much it would weaken our attack and strengthen theirs. Having worked with both him and his successor Kevin Shine, how much of a difference do you think the change has really made, are their ideas and coaching methods really that much different and was Cooley's departure such a loss to the England team after all?
Complain about this posthahaha, freddy flintoff the best bowler youve ever seen. mate u havent seen alot of bowlers mate C Walsh, C Ambrose, W Akram, W Younis, I Khan, B Lee, A Donald, S Warne, G Mgrath, C Vaas, M Muralithern.........mate the list goes on and on...and freddy is nowhere near the top
Complain about this postFred has a long way to go before being classed as the best bowler... so far he is no more than useful. He's a long way behind Warne, Murali, McGrath and not to mention probably 4 west indian bowlers from late 70's early 80's.
Lucky you're not picking team of the century, you'd probably have tuffers in a specialist fielding position.
Complain about this postHa Ha Ha, Freddy Flintoff the best bowler you've ever seen? Im guessing u have not seen alot of bowlers mate then. C Walsh, C Ambrose, W Akram, W Younis, I Khan, B Lee, A Donald, S Warne, G Magrath, C Vaas, M Murali, mate the list goes on and on and freddy is nowhere near the top.
Complain about this postWHO IS THE BEST BATSMEN YOU HAVE EVER FACED
Complain about this postliam certainly played freddie a lot in the nets..talking about batting in real match situations against world class team bowlers, well then, he hasn't been long enough on the crease to realise who the best bowler is!!!
Complain about this posthe doesn't watch much cricket on the telly too i guess to see judge and rate a bowler.. being out till 4 in the morn with freddie must be fun..good spirits!
certainly his column, his say!!!!!
cheers
suprised you say that liam.
Complain about this posthe's not the best bowler ive ever seen.
i've seen a lot more cricket, if only through spectator's eyes.
from the past. holding, marshall, ambrose and walsh. hadlee, thomson, lillee. mcgrath warne and murali.
currently maybe shane bond, nobody stands out.
the nastiest sylvester clarke or colin o'croft!
flintoff does not take enough wickets, and his fitness worries me. on form he the top allrounder. but he aint been on form for a while.
still you see him close up.
I think some of you people are missing the point...Liam didn't say Flintoff is the best bowler ever, he said he's the best bowler he's ever seen - and by that, as an international cricketer, he would probably mean the best bowler he's ever seen at close quarters.
And, as a young international fast bowler, why would he choose someone like Warne or Muralitharan to look up to? That's a bit like saying Ian Bell modelled his play on Viv Richards.
The best is yet to come from Freddie - I would not be surprised if in 5 years time that he is mentioned in the same breath as an Ambrose or Donald.
Best of luck Liam!
Complain about this postPlease get Plunkett back in for Mahmood! Mahmood is terrible, I've seen enough of him! Why do we keep on playing him? He gives so many wides away and consistently bowls short and wide. Good batsmen find it so easy to lift the run rate when facing Mahmood!
There is far better options out there. Liam Plunkett, Chris Tremlett, Chris Broad.... Even Simon Jones, he's back on the mend and will always be better than Mahmood!
Complain about this postdo you think it helps having the 'WAG's come to watch you play???
Complain about this postWhos the best batsmen you've ever seen?
Complain about this post(not Pigeon or Murli i hope)
Who is the best batsman you have ever played against?
Complain about this postFreddy Flintoff the best ever you have seen ???? Not sure how the ECB picked you !!! Did you say, probably, "Graveney the best director ever? "
The england players always talk about each other. Strauss backs Vaugn, Paul backs Marcus, you back freddie etc.... For instance, KP, yes, he is a good batsman, he is still a kid when it comes to experience... let him build his portfolio... don't already say he is the best batsman ever...
The english beat one of the minnows and call themselves world champions... what happened to the gentlemen who invented the gentlemens' game???
Complain about this postI like you Liam, do not fear me.
I have played one or 2 games with you at Durham, you a very good player - hit ball cleanly.
How much batting exercises do you do?
Chenqui
Complain about this postMr. Plunkett
I think you are badly mistaken here, no doubt Freddie is a good bowler, but how about all time greates Like Wasim Akram and Waqar Yunus? Do you think he can beat their records? No way he is near to the W's, so its better to straighten your thoughts as in who is best and who is not.
I am not counting Murali or Warni here because they both are spin bowlers and obviousely have no match but if u are talking about Fast or Medium Fast Freddie is not even close to the likes of Wasim, Waqar, McGrath etc etc
Complain about this postC'mon, mate! Freddie the best? Maybe tbe best you've PLAYED WITH, but the best ever? That smacks of insulting the likes of Warney, no? Warney's irreplaceable, Freddie's not.
Being honest with yourself, you'd like to play with the best, right? Good. Now, if you were the captain of an all-star team, would you, ceteris paribus, HONESTLY pick Freddie over Warney?
Complain about this postGee....support your pals but how can anyone take this guys comments seriously if he expects anyone to believe Freddy is the best bowler he's ever seen!
Turn it up!
He either needs to cut the BS, watch a bit more cricket or atleast leave the PR to Flintoff - who is a fantastic player but isn't even close to the best bowler going around over the past 5 yrs - I assume Mr Plunkett has watched cricket during that period.
Complain about this postthanks for answering my question im a big fan and going to the test match at durham v the west indies hope you are playin all the best liam
Complain about this postSadsadsad people who mock a guy for expressing his opinion in his own column.
Complain about this postHey- guess what: i think that Kenny Dalglish was a better footballer than Ferenc Puskas, that Pete Sampras was a better tennis player than Rod Laver, and that Ian Botham was the better all rounder than Gary Sobers: i don't know whether the fact that i have seen the former three players a GREAT DEAL MORE than the other three has any bearing on this, but i know i am feeling on pretty dodgy ground if i were to say with assuredness "Yes, player X, who i have seen play twice plus a few times on the telly is better than player Y who i watch in training every day and who i have seen singlehandedly win games for England."
And when a guy's expertise comes from representing county and country to a very high standard, not sat on his rear end pontificating like some latter day Arlott, i know whose opinion i am putting more stock in.
How about not just crowing because you disagree with a guys opinion, but rather seeing the column as a whole, and realising that it is giving us all a useful insight into the England camp. I for one am grateful to all concerned for that.
just one point to make! the only proffessional cricketer on this page is Liam Plunkett, so i think he's in the best place to judge whos the best bowler? and even if u dnt agree then its his opinion and his site. also, no one has the right to give him bowling advice either, because if you havn't forgotten he does represent the country at it!
Complain about this postWhat would be your usual intake of food and drink be like on a match day or on the days off between games. Are there any special foods you eat?
Complain about this postI know people are critisising because he said Flintoff was the best bowler he's ever seen, but come on it could have been worse...he could have said Saj Mahmood!!!!!!!
Complain about this postWhich batsman do you find hardest to bowl at.
Complain about this postDo you feel there is tension in the camp when someone takes another players place when you feel you deserve to be there?
Complain about this postwhat is the number on the players caps about it normally does match number on jersey?
Complain about this posthi Liam, I hope you were really joking or poking fun at Freddie otherwise I think your coach nees to take you aside and rent some videos for you to watch....and hopefully learn much more than you know about bowling at this time.....
Complain about this postFreddie best bowelr, c'mon Liam man, the best fast bowler ever was Malcom Marshall, best spinner - Shane Warne...Freddie ? man have you watched much cricket outside of county games when you aren't playing? You need to watch videos of some of the greats, if you only want to watch one, watch Marshall others that were better are Garner, Holding, Roberts, Lillee, Wes Hall, jeff Thompson, Hadlee, Wasim Akram , Waquir Younis etc etc...from the current crowd... Shane Bond and McGrath and obvious Muirli ...these are all miles better bowlers than Freddie... but as i know you are joking , I dont think you need me to tell you anymore . enjoy your time off in Antigua....as you will be going home come 21st Apr..unless you plan some extra vacation in Bdos!!
nice that you say freddie is the best bowler you have ever seen, but surely you must be kidding? there are plenty better bowlers you have ever seen, akram to mention but one. i mean seriously chap get a grip!!
Complain about this postjust quickly had to check the date and no, it wasnt written on the first . if Freddie is the best you have ever seen , you might do well to widen your horizons and look around a bit . might even help you get a game again once you try to emulate the really greats .
Complain about this postLiam,
Complain about this postIn Australia, you seemed to have all the Australian batsmen in trouble because of your late outswingers. Is it more difficult to swing the ball in the Caribbean?
How much do you think Australia are going to thrash you by? I am assuming that you have no plans for Hayden or Ponting or Hodge or Hussey as they are actually good batsmen something England don't have. Also Tait is going to hurt you severely as he is too fast for the flimsy techniques of Joyce and Pietersen and Bell will get himself out for 30 off 65 balls when you are chasing 375. Appart from that best of luck, maybe if Flintoff gets 6-22 you may have a chance.
Complain about this postGive the man a break...Yes, Freddy isnt quite in the same league as Pigeon and co, but he really isnt that far behind. I'd say he is one of the most dangerous bowlers today, even if his batting has got a bit rubbish recently. Plunkers can say he's the best if he liked, i'd probably choose someone who i'd played with a lot if i had to make a decision in his place.
Complain about this postAnd what is this Berce chappy going on about? While Australia are obviously the better team, there's no need for the kind of petty insults...it just sounds like you're still bitter from getting thrashed the last three times you played them.
Complain about this postAnd i'm Scottish, so you can't accuse me of bias in this one.
HAHAHAHA thanks for the laughs man. Freddie Flintoff the best bowler? After Warne, Murily etc?!?! All I can say to that is HAHAHAHAHA
Complain about this postDont suck up to him just to get back into the side lad!
Why do England pick so called one day 'specialist' players, when the major teams in the World Cup like Australia, South Africa, and Sri Lanka seem to pick their best sides, whether they are test players or not ?
Even India and Pakistan, although eliminated, were basically their test sides.
Why have we not included Hoggard, Harmison, Alistair Cook, or indeed Simon Jones now he is fit again? What's the situation with Marcus Trescothic (our best one day opener)
Joyce, Mahmood, Dalrymple, Anderson and Nixon are good county players, but not true internationals, who would individually be capable of winning matches in which ever format !!!!!
Complain about this postI'm only 17 but I can tell you that Flintoff is not the best bowler. If you honestly think so, you havent seen much cricket. What happened to bowlers such as Brett Lee, Bracken, Murali, Vaas, Shane Bond, Shaun Pollock, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan and not to mention ex players aswell such as Akram, Courtney Walsh, McGrath..etc
Complain about this postTo all those people who are "laughing" at Liam about his choice for Freddie. Remeber this:
1 - Liam is a young lad, I dont know if he has seen Waqar, Holding etc. The question relates to who he has seen, not who was ever the best bowler.
2 - Liam plays for England and sees Freddie a lot, and Freddie is a good bowler (probably not in the top 5 greatest ever!), and seeing him every day you are going to be in awe of him.
3 - He is entitled to his opinion, and that should be respected, you may disagree, but you dont need to be rude about it.
4 - The true Freddie as seen in the summer of 95 is a magnificent player. I was at Edgbaston watching that brilliant over, if Liam can learn to be as consistent then he will become an English great. He has the talent and has shown that he can apply it.
Good luck Liam, I hope you get more games, as you deserve to be in the 11, but keep your spirits up and your focus and attitude right and it will all come together.
Complain about this postIt is really frustrating to see that you have not established your self both in the ODI and Test side.
What are you going to do about it?
Complain about this postI always read the English cricket pages cos they are often a good laugh, especially the press' reaction when England lose. But today we have a winner, Freddie the best bowler ever. I can only guess Liam doesn't open his eyes when batting, which might explain his batting average. I agree with all the names below except except Brett Lee who is not as good. To all those suggesting that as a pro cricketer we should take Liams view, well I would rather trust Lara & Tendulkar who rate McGrath, Murali, Warne, Younis & Akram etc in their best, than a guy who is battling to make the English team.
Complain about this posthi liam,
i am an indian living in uk. i think england should play u if they want to go further in this world cup as u were instrumental in the win against australia in tri series final.
you are a strike bowler and in australia, inmost of the matches,u took early wickets.
good luck to u.
gaurav
Complain about this postI like the speed you bowl at but I think you can bowl even faster. Your beautiful action will allow you to bowl faster and at the same time maintain a good line and length. Have you thought about bowling faster?
Complain about this postWas Liam dropped due to disciplinary reasons, as I fail to believe that in his good form he was dropped for Mahmood?
Complain about this postIf Flintoff is the best bowler you have ever seen you should get out more !!! He's good but please be realistic. Warne, McGrath, Muraitharan, Lee....... I could go on. If you look back think about the West Indies bowlers of the past, Richard Hadlee, Trueman etc etc etc
Complain about this postFlintoff best bowler ??!! The poor lad needs to play more cricket.
Complain about this postHa Ha Ha,
What a great joke! FF best bowler in the world! Are you avin a laugh mate.
Complain about this postCan I suggest you have a look at MacGrath, Warne, Donald, Wasim,Waquar, Shane Bond and about 50 others.
Bitter posts from some of my fellow asian posters. Is that because both Pakistan and India are at home?
Sorry guys get over it. Plunkett may well be overrating Flintoff but you guys overrate your teams and players all the time.
Ponting is miles better than Tendulkar ever was.
Akram and Younis were very good but did not peak for as long as Mcgrath has. Mcgrath superior in my eyes.
Murali I do rate extremely highly though. Sri Lanka have produced most of the best Asian players. Pakistan and India don't seem to have the same talent base and I for one am not at all surprised to see them both at home now. They are not good enough.
Complain about this post
Complain about this postI cannot understand why a talented young bowler gets dropped when you have been playing so well. Hope the management comes to there senses and pick you for the rest of the World cup.
Give the kid a break and remember he is still only a kid, only 21 years old I think. I'm sure in 10 years time he'll have seen a lot more players' and Freddie will be just one of the best along with many others. He obviously likes learning from the pedalo king and it's nice to hear that an impression has been made. Respect only comes with time and experience and since he is in the very early stages of his career there is a limit to this surely.
Also in reply to all those people attempting to give Plunk's a cricket lesson - give it a break, Im sure the last thing he needs to read is a bunch of 5th rate supporters telling him how to play the game properly.
Lets get behind the boys and give them some respect we're not supposed to be like football fans or are we?
Complain about this postfreddie better than warne? come off it. i'm a young man (23) but warne is the best i've ever seen.
Complain about this postHi Liam,
I am looking forward to seeing you play against Sri Lanka and wish you and all the rest the very Best and hope England wins this match.

What is your favourite ODI memory, playing for England? And why?
Complain about this posti think he is frog in the well. I accept Flintoff is good bowler but not a great bowler as he says. It is good to give morale to England team but not by boosting but by accepting the reality
Complain about this postArvinda, I am neither from Asia or from Australia so I can say that ponting is not better than Tendulkar. He may well be playing better at the moment, but Tendulkars records speak for themselves. Personally, I think the best player at the moment is Saurav Ganguly. An absolute brilliant comeback and I wish him well. If he takes over captainship of the Indian team again, they will have great potential to do much better
Complain about this postMurali as best best bowler? Don't make me laugh. He's not even a cricketer, he's a cheat. No way is that bowling. I can't believe he even gets away with it, let alone has people drooling over him to the extent that he is even mentioned in the best bower argument. Yeah Freddie might not be the best bowler, but at least he actually BOWLS rather than CHUCKS. Murali is a joke, i could take over 500 test wickets if you let me simply run up and chuck at the stumps. Also, in case any of you losers hasn't actually noticed Liam Plunkett is a PROFESSIONAL cricketer, so you giving him and other players advice is just laughable. You're probably the fat kids who were too scared to do PE at school in case you had to get your tits out in the showers. Grow up you wasters, i doubt you've even ever played cricket.
Complain about this postAll right, I'll ease up on Liam. Sorry Liam, I'm sure you open your eyes when you bat. Now I'll have a go at Daniel. Your best batsman debate is illogical. You say to look at the stats, well Ponting averages 59 (almost 60) whereas Tendulkar is around 55 (give or take). I agree that Tendulkar is as good a choice as Ponting, and he had to face Warne & McGrath. I look at the stats and think averaging 60 for over 100 tests is incredible though. It's a tough call, Ponting, Tendulkar or Lara, I call it a draw and just sit back and enjoy what each has to offer.

Complain about this postWho is your best mate in the england team?
Complain about this postHi Liam
why oh why aren't you playing mate??? If I have to see Mahmood scratching his head in utter disbelief that another crap ball has gone to the boundary, I will scream so loudly you'll be able to hear me in Barbados!!!!!
I wish we hadn't dropped Loye cause he was different and would have loved the short boundaries. Joyce is elegant but we need brute force up the top of the innings, surely!! Every other major team has worked that out - Australia even has two - but we stick with 2 stylish players who can't hit over the top in the powerplays. We effectively have pushers of the ball when the field is up and there are no gaps and we have sloggers on when the field is back and in position to catch the ball. Where is the logic here??
To my slight surprise, Belly has done a great job in becoming more aggressive but it seems to me that Joyce and MV are so scared about about getting out that they wont free their arms! KP is doing well but for me, Belly and Bopara are the stand outs.
But you should definitely play. If they are penalising you for the pedalo stuff then that is ridiculous. You're there to play cricket and you're very good at it. Australia didn't hide Warne away for all those years when he was being a complete and utter prat (on and off the field!!), so why should England when you were silly on one occasion???
Against Bangers, we need to be truly bold and set a score that will help us with our run rate. It has come down to the wire - again - and we must fire up collectively. I really hope you play Liam and I wouldn't mind seeing some of Broad either.
GO ENGLAND!!

Hi Liam,
Complain about this postI come from Australia and you're my favourite cricketer. I play cricket in an all boys team and most of them tease me because I go for England and my favourite cricketer is from England. I went to a game on the 12th November 2006 for my birthday and you were playing but I think you might have been 12th man. I got you're autograph and it's hanging up in my room ready for when you become the next best cricketer the world has ever seen. I know you're a bowler but i was wondering what bat do you use? Hopefully England comes back to Australia soon so I can go and watch.
