I'm not overweight'
LONDON. July 12: Andrew Flintoff hit back at criticism about his weight and fitness here on Tuesday. Is in good sliap> .
The 22-year-old Lancashire all-rounder made a late with-
drawal from England’s match with West Indies on Sunday with a recurrence of back trouble. and chairman of selectors David Graveney has admitted to a concern about his weight.
The sajne complaint had forced him on to the sidelines ror the second Test against West indies at Lord's less than a fortnight earlier
It led to speculation abqut Flintoffs fitness, his lifestyle and his dedication to become a fully-fledged international cricketer with claims that he was more than a stone over-weight.
But he finally responded to the criticism, saying; I was horrified when I saw some of the headlines They were lotallx uncalled for. it was personal abuse and I find it verv dilllcult to get my head around ii
I < an take < rltl< ism it I've played .i poor shot or had a bad game, but to deliberately slag me off like that was totally uncalled for."
Flintoff concedes he has gained a little weight, but nothing like the stone which he has reported to have added and claims he is working hard to lose it again.
I’ve put on a bit of weight,' he said. "I accept that, but nowhere near a stone like some have claimed, more like a couple of kilos.
1 had realised that before all this blew up and I have been trying hard to get it off. Last winter 1 worked hard to keep in shape and I think I succeeded and I haven't been doing -anything different this summer — I know it s important to watch what I eat and drink."
The biggest concern to Flintoff at present, however, is his long-standing back problem. which has threatened his England career in the future and his participation in Thursday's day-night international against Zimbabwe at Old Trafford.
"My back is a real concern." he admitted. "On Saturday I felt fine, but on Sunday morning when I woke up I was stiff and sore and I couldn't guarantee bowling my 10 overs.
I don't know what causes it to go like that. Obviously it's a worry, no-one worries about it more than me because it is affecting my career.
Hopefully 1 11 be okay to play on Thursday, but if' the back trouble is not sorted out. I accept I will find it hard to keep my place.#
I want to do well for England and I will do everything 1 can to prove the critics wrong
