Rocky Flintoff, 16, Breaks Father Andrew's Century Record for England Lions

News summary

Sixteen-year-old Rocky Flintoff, son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, made history by scoring 108 runs for the England Lions against a Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane, becoming the youngest player to achieve a maiden century for the team. Coming in at number nine, Flintoff's explosive innings included nine fours and six sixes, helping the Lions recover from a precarious position of 161 for seven to reach a total of 319. His performance was particularly meaningful as it took place under the watchful eye of his father, who is coaching the Lions for the first time. The team's first innings lead of 105 runs came after strong contributions from Alex Davies and Freddie McCann. Flintoff's achievement follows his recent rise through the ranks, including being the youngest player to score a century for England Under-19s. The match is part of a tour that includes a scheduled first-class Test against Australia A in Sydney next week.
