4 hours ago7 min read

The Ashes, that timeless theatre of cricketing drama where legends are forged and heroes are made, returns to captivate us on 21 November, and to properly set the stage, we're challenging your cricketing intellect with a quiz worthy of the hallowed turf itself. At the heart of this challenge stands the colossal figure of Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, a man whose Ashes legacy is as monumental as his physical presence on the field.His 2005 Ashes campaign wasn't just a series victory; it was a cultural reset for English cricket, a summer-long epic where Flintoff, deservedly named Player of the Series, embodied a nation's sporting resurgence with every thunderous delivery and defiant innings. Think of him as English cricket's equivalent of a midfield general, a Steven Gerrard-like figure who could single-handedly change the game's complexion, dragging his team forward through sheer force of will.While his subsequent captaincy during the 2006-07 tour down under ended in a valiant but unsuccessful defence of the urn, his record against the old enemy remains a testament to his skill and tenacity. Across his storied Ashes career, Flintoff, with his whippy action and prodigious swing, sent 17 different Australian batsmen back to the pavilion.This quiz tasks you with naming every single one of them. We're arming you with crucial clues: their batting role, the number of times Freddie claimed their wicket, and the specific years he did so.This is more than a memory test; it's a deep dive into the tactical battles that defined an era. Can you recall the technical left-handers he tormented with his angle, or the aggressive openers he tamed with late movement? It’s a journey through scorecards and highlights, a statistical puzzle that separates the casual observer from the true student of the game.For those whose appetite for cricketing trivia is insatiable, our dedicated sport quizzes page offers a treasure trove of further challenges, from naming every Ashes centurion since 2005 to identifying the bowlers with five-wicket hauls in the same period. Sign up for notifications to ensure you're always at the crease when the next quiz is bowled. So, step up, take guard, and see if you can compile a perfect score, proving your knowledge is as formidable as Freddie's bowling was in his prime.
