Andrew Flintoff is the best fast bowler in international cricket and should play for England even he batted at number 11 according to ex-Australia opening batsman Justin Langer.

Langer, who is currently playing for Somerset, described Flintoff, in his column for the BBC Sport website, as the best fast bowler currently playing international cricket and likened his bowling threat to that of pace greats Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh or Glenn McGrath.

He said his bowling alone should guarantee him a place in the England side, and added that he was shocked at the ferocity of Flintoff's bowling when Somerset faced Lancashire at Old Trafford which he said was like 'being in boxing ring with Joe Calzaghe'.
