Lancashire's Andrew Flintoff wary of St Annes invite
Flintoff joined St Annes as a 12-year-old junior in 1989
Andrew Flintoff is still mulling over a return to club cricket with Northern League side St Annes but admits to a few reservations about the idea.
The Lancashire all-rounder has been invited to play for his boyhood team to help his recovery from knee surgery.
The 32-year-old told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It's not out of the realms of possibility but it is the ultimate hiding to nothing, isn't it?
"I'll probably miss a straight one, or chip one up to mid-off or extra cover."
Flintoff, who has undergone two knee operations since helping England regain the Ashes last summer, added: "We'll see how we go but I'm conscious it could turn into a bit of a circus.
"I'll be the most nervous bloke in the world - I'll be sat there shaking - it won't be like walking out at Lord's in a test match, this will be 10 times worse.
"I keep thinking - do I need to put myself through this or should I just play in the second team at Crosby but if it helps the club (St Annes) and they're not expecting too much, then why not?"
