Laurae Westwood was the first to deliver when 7lbs 8oz Poppy Grace enteredthe world in the early hours of Saturday morning. Flintoff’s fiancée Rachael Wools followed a day later when Holly weighed inat 6lbs 20z, four weeks ahead of schedule.
 
The England all-rounder decided to phone close friend Steve Harmison totell him the good news.   “Freddie rang me at 4.53am.  I’m really happy forhim, but I wished he’d waited a few hours longer,” he said. Flintoff had been given permission to miss England’s final match of the NatWest series against India so that he could be at the birth in a London hospital.
 
Westwood, who already has a three-year-old son Sam, is now free to takehis place in the European side to face America in the Ryder Cup next week.
