Phillip DeFreitas

Phillip DeFreitas has now retired after a long and varied career that included time with Leicestershire (2 spells), Lancashire and Derbyshire, as well as a fairly long England career. I though after his time in cricket he deserved a thread of his own where people put what they think of DeFreitas, their memories etc. I shall post a more considered opinion tomorrow but I do rate Daffy and feel he had a very good spell as an England bowler.

It looks like he has left Leicestershire under a cloud which is a shame.

Also maybe someone could back up my belief that DeFreitas bowled spin in a world cup final or semi?
