England's only world-class all-rounder has had contrasting form with the bat in the subcontinent.
He has enjoyed success in one-day matches in Pakistan and - spectacularly so - in Bangladesh, but struggled desperately in Tests in India.
The home series against South Africa saw Flintoff demonstrate a new-found maturity with the bat, although his best strokes have lost none of their aggression.
And his bowling remained tight and threatening even though he has yet to return a major wicket haul.
He missed the opportunity to continue his Test learning curve in Bangladesh after being ruled out with a groin injury.
