BRAVE Freddie Flintoff has taken charge at England cricket training – after a former Top Gear Stig slammed the BBC over the star's horror crash.<\/p>\n

Freddie was snapped leading a nets session at Trent Bridge in Nottingham this morning.<\/p>\n

Wearing an England-branded bucket hat, hoodie and sunglasses, he smiled as he watched the squad practise.<\/p>\n

There were still signs on Freddie's face of the horror injuries he suffered after narrowly surviving a 130mph Top Gear smash.<\/p>\n

Flintoff, 45, suffered facial injuries and broken ribs\u00a0in the 130mph crash\u00a0in an open-topped three-wheel Morgan Super 3,\u00a0but has since returned to public life.<\/p>\n

Yesterday former F1 driver and Top Gear Stig Perry McCarthy slammed the BBC's handling of the crash.<\/p>\n

Speaking on GB News, he said: "There've been a number of adventures and accidents across the show's history.<\/p>\n

"Their health and safety procedures have come up.<\/p>\n

"I know what I'm doing a little bit so I could take care of myself. I\u00a0kind of find it pretty bizarre really. <\/p>\n

"You know, first off we all wish Freddie well, and judging by the pictures you can only imagine he went through an awful lot of pain.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

"So yeah, hats off to Freddie and his enthusiasm and his character and he's one of the people that's really made Top Gear come back to be in a great show.<\/p>\n

"But temper enthusiasm, it's got to be tempered sometimes."<\/p>\n

McCarthy added: "Freddie's background is a sportsman, he's highly competitive, but it is not driving.<\/p>\n

"And sometimes I feel that maybe there's a bit of a need to contain the enthusiasm to protect enthusiastic and talented drivers like Freddie or talented personalities like Freddie from themselves. <\/p>\n

"So everything's conjecture at the moment. And that's what I'm critical of is why don't we know exactly what has happened?"<\/p>\n

The BBC has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

It comes after insiders said it is the "perfect time" for Freddie to make a cricketing come back.<\/p>\n

Former England teammate Steve Harmison said that Freddie is in "good form" following his recovery.<\/p>\n
