The problem is that a precedent was set at the ODI world cup... how will Flintoff now feel he has been treated when his Captain ends up on the front pages for a night out in the wrong place..and just gets a fine (Flintoff was fined, dropped and sacked) keep in mind that Freddie was out 36 hours before the next match, Collingwood was playing the next day!!

There is no way a "model professional" should be in a strip club the night before a big match, what does that say to the young players in the team - Broad and Wright (both on their first tours)?
