As Freddie Flintoff's latest images show his injuries are healing, he's back to filming a new project after the horror Top Gear crash

As he shoots a new project this week, Freddie Flintoff is getting ready for his TV return after a horrific crash on Top Gear put him out of action for months. The Ashes hero, Robert Blake, is now shooting a second series of his BBC cricket show Field of Dreams. It comes as new photos of him out and about show that his facial scarring have been significantly better healed than those from seven months ago in September 2023.

STUART BROAD: I can't see any fast bowler beating Jimmy Anderson's haul of 700 Test match wickets

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 9, 2024
My mum was there in person, but she was also standing next to Jimmy's dad Michael in the stands, and she sent me snapshots of the two of them doing superstitious cricket activities like swapping seats or going for walks for good fortune in the name of getting him to that 700. We all know that it means absolutely nothing, but we still do it. It's a spectacular achievement, but not one that I can recall from another fast bowler versus another. When people talk about Jimmy, they generally emphasize that they have the dedication and the mental strength to keep going forward, and, of course, there are times when you can't play in the wrong climate, but we should really marvel at his talent, because that is what it has taken to get so many wickets under different conditions, challenging the best batters in the world for more than 20 years.

NASSER HUSSAIN: A lack of spin control makes it so difficult for a skipper, it was evident that England newcomers Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley lacked that nassity

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 26, 2024
NASSER HUSSAIN: When David Lloyd, our long-serving England columnist, was England coach, he used to say, 'Whoever's in the opposition doing your job, be better than him.' Phil Tufnell, who was up against Shane Warne, was thinking about Spare. Or imagine Robert Croft's face as Muttiah Muralitharan was spinning it four yards. Likewise, discussing England's new spin incumbents alongside India's outstanding trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel is a chalk and cheese talk. Given the fact that Jack Leach is returning from a long-term injury, teenage Rehan Ahmed is playing his second Test and Tom Hartley is on debut, it would be unfair to compare.

Nathan Lyon takes 500th Test wicket in Australia win over Pakistan as he becomes the eighth man and third Australian to do so: 'I still pinch myself'

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 17, 2023
After a review in Perth, the 36-year-old trapped Faheem Ashraf leg before his wicket on day four of the first Test as the hosts cruised to a 360-run win. Lyon's success was slowed by sickness during last summer's Ashes series, and she is the third Australian to reach this height, following in the footsteps of late Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath. Only Muttiah Muralitharan, who leads the way with a stunning 800, Warne, Anil Kumble, Stuart Broad, McGrath, and Courtney Walsh have received more Test scalps.

FEMAIL reveals what happened to its stars in Slumdog Millionaire's 15th anniversary, from violent struggles with poverty to an on-set romance that resulted in a public break

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 11, 2023
When Slumdog Millionaire first debuted in theaters 15 years ago, it shocked not only the world of cinema, but also the world as a whole. Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is the subject of the hit 2008 film, which was inspired by the novel Q&A series, as he defends allegations that he cheated on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and discusses how he got there. It went on to win eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay, and others. However, some of the children did not make it to the same shanty towns after being dispersed at the Oscars. Here's a look at the film's adult leads and the children who appeared in the younger versions.

LAWRENCE BOOTH: No one is safe, not even Jimmy Anderson, England's top wicket taker

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 1, 2023
LASTON (LA): Critics of Bazball have joked that it's blasphemous to criticize Ben Stokes' England, but a new, more heretical view is creeping up on us. How much more will we get to see of Jimmy Anderson? The answer was not positive on the fourth day of this strange second Ashes Test: not so much. And it wasn't simply because England spent the afternoon responding to Australia's short-ball barrage with one of their own, a sledgehammer tactic at odds with Anderson's scalpel. For as long as trying to anticipate his death, a mug's game, and it seems that the sub-clause 'who turns 41 in July' has been a journalistic staple. The start of July was Saturday, for what it's worth.

As Ash Gardner takes eight wickets, Australia wins the Women's Ashes Test by 89 runs

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 26, 2023
ISAAN KHAN AT TRENT BRIDGE: At the first glance of the final scorecard, a few perplexities appear. Sophie Ecclestone and Tammy Beaumont, both a 10-wicket haul and a double century, have come out as losers definitely stands out. It was Australia that stepped up at the pivotal moments of a riveting five days as a unit. Ash Gardner was on the fore again to take all five remaining England wickets and seal victory by 89 runs. Muttiah Muralitharan said her match figures for 165 runs are the highest-ever at Trent Bridge for a spinner.

Australia defeats India in second ODI as Steve Smith delivers a stunning 'catch of the century.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 19, 2023
As Australia levelled the ODI series after thrashing India by ten wickets in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, Steve Smith took a stunning catch. The Aussies ripped into India's batting line-up, with the hosts bundled out for 117, their fourth-lowest ODI total at home, as Mitchell Starc took five wickets and Sean Abbott chipped in with three wickets. As Smith, who is still standing in as skipper in place of Pat Cummins, began to his right to exclude Pandya for 1.

Jimmy Anderson moves up to second in the Test bowling rankings behind Australia captain Pat Cummins

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 14, 2022
Jimmy Anderson has risen to the top of the Test bowling rankings for the first time in nearly four years, after being integral in England's series of victories over Pakistan. In Multan, the evergreen England seamer took three for 60 to help the tourists take an unassailable 2-0 lead, raising his total number to eight victims in two matches on Pakistani soil and putting him ahead of India's Ravichandran Ashwin in second place in the ratings table. In the standings, the 40-year-old now has Australia captain Pat Cummins only ahead of him. He ranked so well among the world's top bowlers in February 2019.

It was his 100th Test wicket at Lord's when Stuart Broad had South Africa's wicketkeeper Kyle Vernne trapped behind.
