Is Andrew Flintoff worth the risk? That is the question confronting the England management as they ponder whether to play the inspirational yet injury-prone all-rounder in the fourth Ashes Test. England are 1-0 up with two to play against Australia heading into the start of Fridays clash at Headingley. Meanwhile, Australia, with injury problems of their own, will be buoyed by the prospect of having a fit Brett Lee available for selection. Lee has insisted he is ready to make a dramatic return from injury in the fourth test as Australia look to revive their Ashes campaign.- Reuters and AP Photos.[imagebrowser id=10082]
