Rocky Flintoff, son of former England star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, is also seen following in his father's footsteps. Rocky has immediately stolen the limelight by scoring a century on his Under-19 debut for England. Rocky's 106-run innings helped the England Under-19 team chase 288 runs and defeat the Young Lions Invitational XI by two wickets at Loughborough.
16-year-old Rocky hit eight fours and three sixes in his 106-run innings played in 111 balls. During his innings, he also played many brilliant shots which mesmerized everyone. His innings came when his team lost both its openers in the first five overs and the team lost its 4 wickets at the score of 52.
Flintoff and Charlie Ellison then shared an 81-run partnership for the fifth wicket, which helped the Under-19 team come back in the match. By the time Ellison was dismissed for 56, the team's score had reached 133-5. Flintoff then held one end up as the innings progressed and when he was dismissed after scoring a century, England needed only 14 runs to win. Harry Moore (45 not out) and Tazim Ali completed this formality and gave their team the victory.
Rocky is a part of England's Under-19 team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rocky, who scored a century in this warm-up match, could not do anything special in the first ODI and could score only 22 runs in 21 balls. Apart from him, the rest of the batsmen also failed to play big innings. Sri Lanka's Under-19 team defeated England by 65 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Now the second match of the series will be played on July 1 and the second match on July 3.
