England have lost their X-factor without Flintoff, says Lee

Southampton (UK), Sep.9 (ANI): Australian speedster Brett Lee has claimed that England have lost their X-factor without all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.

I know we have heard a lot about aura recently but Andrew Flintoff has definitely got that. He brings that to the game and quite possibly when he is not around that aura that he would bring to the team is not there," Lee added. (ANI)
