After his 2005 Ashes celebrations, it is well documented that in his younger days Andrew Flintoff enjoyed the odd drink. After a boozy night in St Lucia with teammates Paul Nixon, Ian Bell, James Anderson, Liam Plunkett and Jon Lewis, Flintoff was stripped of the England vice-captaincy after having to be saved from the water after coming into difficulties while riding a commandeered pedalo. Far from impressed with the whole debacle, captain Michael Vaughan said:
"That incident changed the whole atmosphere in the camp. We went into the New Zealand game with a really good attitude but we didn't play well and after 'Fredalo' we just started taking it all too seriously. That might sound silly but everyone was too tense and desperate. There was no escape - and even on the field you have to be pretty free, especially in one-day cricket."
