I really wanted to like this. I found "Wit of Cricket" an absolute delight. So when I saw Vol 2, I had to have it. When I heard it, Oh dear......As John Lennon said, "you can't reheat a souffle". The tracks are a mix of live after dinner speech clips and studio recordings, and for me thats the problem. The studio recordings lack the bite and charm of the live bits, and completely kill the CD for me. This is a real shame, as I really wanted to like this.
As my old school reports sometimes said - Not a bad effort, but must try harder.

"Being Freddie" is little more than a series of accounts of Andrew Flintoff's role in various matches he has played since his emergence in the late 1990's as an all rounder in the mould of Ian Botham.
