ST JOHN’S (Antigua), Feb 11: Andrew Flintoff believes England have the character to rebound in the second Test against West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, starting on Friday.

The England all-rounder also believes England can not only draw level in the four-Test series which West Indies lead following a sensational innings and 23-run victory in the opening Test at Kingston, but that the visitors can also take the series.

“The spirit’s been good, but maybe we need to draw on each other a little bit more,” Flintoff told reporters. “Help your mates out, help each other to try and make the side successful.

“We have all the ingredients of a successful side and we have to put them all together.

“That’s going to be the test for people, when you go through something like that you still have to back yourself and that’s going to be the big test of character.”—AFP
