2. 167 v West Indies, 2004:

In the 2^nd Test at Edgbaston against the West Indies in 2004, Flintoff scored his career best of 167 runs. He hit 17 fours and 7 towering sixes in the innings which propelled the English score to 566/9 declared in the first innings. Windies in reply could muster only 336. Flintoff picked 2/52. England in their second innings scored 248 while Windies bundled out for 222. England won by 256 runs. But the highlight of the match was Flintoff’s innings. During his innings of 167 against the West Indies at Edgbaston in July 2004, one six off Jermaine Lawson was hit high into the Ryder Stand and was almost caught by his father, who fumbled the ball and dropped it. Colin Flintoff, father of Andrew Flintoff, later commented on the incident quoting “If I’d taken it he’d have been the first Test batsman to be caught out by his dad!”
