Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff used to be a big contributor for his team with bat, ball, and sometimes words too. There is an incident from 2004 when he irritated West Indies batsman on the crease, Tino Best with his constant chatter.

Flintoff was fielding in the slip when off-spinner Ashley Giles came to bowl against Tino. He tried to poke the hot-headed Caribbean cricketer and can be heard saying 'Mind the windows' to him.

Eventually, Tino went for a big hit and ended up getting stumped which added insult to injury. 

Seeing the video of the famous incident on Twitter, Flintoff tweeted: "Possibly the best thing I did on a cricket field, thanks for popping in Tino".

The commentator, late Richie Benaud can also be heard taking a jibe at Best, saying: "whether Giles outbowled Best or outtalked him, I do not know".
