In the video, Flintoff can be heard saying, 'Mind the Windows'. The all-rounder was standing at the first-slip position and was sledging Best to get under his skin.
Seeing the video, Flintoff tweeted: "Possibly the best thing I did on a cricket field, thanks for popping in Tino".
In the match between England and West Indies in 2004, Best was trying to hit Giles for a maximum but he was unable to connect the ball properly. It was then, Flintoff said 'Mind The Windows' with a big smile on his face.
The move then riled up Best, and on the next ball, he decided to step out of the crease to hit a six, but he ended up missing the ball and was stumped.
After that Flintoff had a big grin on his face and he celebrated in style.
The commentator was Richie Benaud at that time, and he also took a jibe at Best, saying: "whether Giles outbowled Best or outtalked him, I do not know."
