Default Flintoff penalized for being drunk and acting silly

After the NZ loss flintoff and some of his team mates kept drinking till the 4am. At one point in the dark he took a boat in the sea (while being drunk) and started shaking sideways. Finally capsized the boat. This could kill him (enough already in this WC!!) since he was drunk already and it was dark and the sea is rough at that time. The Hotel guards rescued him.

Lesson learned for all the drinkers:
Drinking is not good..

ECB stripped the VC status from Flintoff. He didn't play in the Canada game. The others disciplined were James Anderson, Ian Bell, Jon Lewis, Paul Nixon and Liam Plunkett.
