FLINTOFF'S QUIT WARNING
Freddie ready to call it a day if injury strikes
Flintoff: Retirement could be near
ENGLAND ace Andrew Flintoff concedes that his career is only one serious injury away from ending.
The Lancastrian legend caused a stir by rejecting a central contract with England recently after retiring from Test cricket.
Although currently sidelined after a knee operation, the 31-year-old is keen to prolong his career at one-day level and in the Twenty20 game.
Freddie feels he was never really made for bowling, despite taking 226 Test wickets for his country.
"The next time I get injured, I will be gone," he said.
"Realistically, with the operation I've had, I have a limited shelf-life. I'll try to draw that out for as long as I can.
"But if the knee or anything else goes, that will pretty much be it. I've been injured since I was 13. Me and bowling have never actually gone together."
