8. Freddie In The Ghetto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL7nloBSScQ In perhaps his best on field performance of the recent Big Bash League, Andrew Flintoff's rendition of Elvis' In the Ghetto went down a treat with the Australian public and media alike. Commended for his performances on the mic and in the commentary box rather than on the field - Flintoff managed just 74 runs and three wickets in the tournament - Freddie, egged on by the Channel Ten commentary team, was often taken more seriously as an entertainer than as a player. A man who returned to the game for Lancashire Lightning last summer after a five year absence, Flintoff's cricketing future is unclear but his new found celebrity after appearing on Sky1's A League of Their Own and more recently the Australian version of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has opened up a lot of doors for life after cricket for the big Lancastrian.
