Rocky Flintoff (Source: ESPNcricinfo)
Andrew Flintoff's son, Rocky Flintoff has scored his maiden century in Lancashire's 2nd XI, against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. This century came after having a 39-run partnership with his older brother Corey. The 16-year-old Rocky just made his debut earlier this month and has emerged to be the best already.
Moreover, in the previous week, he scored an unbeaten 50 runs against Durham at Emirates Old Trafford. The young batter played at No. 5, scoring boundaries easily which shocked the players. The kind of innings he played wasn't expected from a 16-year-old batter and hence, people around him were very happy. Also, he hit a pull-shot which replicated his father Andrew Flintoff and the next one was a shot over mid-wicket.
The Flintoff brothers have been a part of Lancashire's academy since a young age. Corey, 18, and Rocky's innings must have definitely made their father proud as they announced their arrival to the world with some solid performances at such a tender age.
