The news that Freddie Flintoff is set to retire from Test Cricket has sent something of a shockwave through Paddy Towers. Our London office in particular has been hard hit by this devastating news, but in fine Paddy Power tradition we’ve decided to do something about it rather than just sit around moaning.

Today, on the eve of the third test, we launch our HELP SAVE FREDDIE campaign on Facebook. It’s really quite simple. We’re looking for great ideas, either financial or medical, that can help persuade Fred to turn his back on getting paid a couple of million quid for playing souped-up rounders and commit to the king of sports that is cricket.

How hard can it be? All we need is a large amount of money and a doctor able to perform miracles. Or someone willing to donate their knees. Join us now and restore Mr Flintoff to his proper place - in England’s Test Team!

PS - one other note for cricket fans: After KP got KO’ed by his Achilles we decided the only fair thing to do was refund all losing bets on him being Top Runscorer, Top England Runscorer AND Man Of The Series. We don’t have to, but then if we didn’t bother we’d be just like all the other bookies, and nobody wants that.
