Andrew Flintoff ended England's troubled tour of the Caribbean by claiming a hat-trick to secure a historic one-day series triumph over West Indies.
The Lancashire all-rounder returned from an anxious week worrying about a left-thumb injury sustained last week to claim only England's third one-day international hat-trick. Flintoff followed Lancashire teammate Jimmy Anderson and best friend Steve Harmison in achieving the feat and in doing so, secured England's first one-day series win in the Caribbean.
He also finished with career-best figures of five for 19 as West Indies were dismissed for 146 in reply to England's 172 for nine in a match reduced to 29 overs by rain.
