Rocky Flintoff Makes Historic County Championship Debut for Lancashire

Rocky Flintoff, the 16-year-old son of England cricket legend Andrew Flintoff, has etched his name in the history books by becoming the youngest-ever County Championship debutant for Lancashire. The highly anticipated moment arrived on Thursday at The Oval, where Rocky took to the crease against Surrey.

Batting at No. 4, Rocky faced a daunting task as Lancashire stumbled to 33/2 in the early stages. Undeterred, he displayed remarkable composure against the experienced Sam Curran, patiently playing out seven consecutive dot balls before finding his first boundary.

Rocky’s determination paid dividends as he gradually gained confidence, hitting three more boundaries to showcase his technical prowess. However, his promising innings was halted in the 30th over when Jordan Clark dismissed him for 32. Sai Sudharsan’s brilliant catch at point ended Rocky’s knock, leaving Lancashire in a precarious position at 98/4.

Despite his dismissal, Rocky’s early innings provided a glimpse of his immense potential. His solid cricketing foundation was evident in his ability to handle the pressure of a first-class debut and contribute valuable runs.

Surrey’s bowlers continued to assert their dominance, eventually bowling out Lancashire for a total of 204. Rocky’s innings, though brief, served as a testament to his talent and the high expectations surrounding his cricketing career.

Surrey asserted their dominance on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash against Lancashire at the Kia Oval, restricting the visitors to 204 before reaching 83 without loss in reply.

Surrey’s bowlers were in fine form, with Jordan Clark leading the way with four wickets for 57 runs. Dan Worrall claimed three wickets, while Conor McKerr and Sam Curran each took two.

In reply, Surrey openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley put on an unbeaten 83-run partnership. Burns looked particularly impressive, hitting successive boundaries off George Balderson’s medium pace.

By August 8, 2024 0

Middlesex secured a crucial five-wicket victory over Lancashire in their Metro Bank One-Day Cup clash at Emirates Old Trafford, boosting their chances of reaching the knockout stages.

Lancashire’s innings got off to a shaky start, losing two early wickets. However, 16-year-old debutant Kesh Fonseka (42) and Rocky Flintoff (88) steadied the ship with a 58-run partnership. Flintoff, playing his fifth innings for Lancashire, reached his maiden fifty for the county, hitting six fours and two sixes.

Despite Flintoff’s heroics, Middlesex’s bowlers kept the pressure on, with Henry Brookes (4-43) and Ethan Bamber (2-31) sharing seven wickets. Lancashire’s innings ended on 233 for 9 in the rain-reduced 48-over match.

In reply, Middlesex openers Joe Cracknell (98) and Sam Robson (87*) put on a dominant 175-run partnership for the second wicket. Cracknell reached his fifty off 71 balls, while Robson reached his half-century off 64 balls.

Lancashire fought back late in the innings, taking four wickets in quick succession. However, Robson remained unbeaten, guiding Middlesex to victory with eight balls to spare. Josh Boyden (2-35) and Jack Morley (3-48) were the pick of the Lancashire bowlers.

The victory keeps Middlesex in contention for a place in the knockout stages, while Lancashire’s hopes of qualification are fading.

Kent Edge Lancashire in Thrilling One-Day Trophy Encounter

Kent Edge Lancashire in Thrilling One-Day Trophy Encounter

By July 29, 2024 0

Kent emerged victorious in a thrilling five-run victory over Lancashire in the Metro-Bank One-Day Trophy, despite a valiant century from Keaton Jennings.

Lancashire’s pursuit of 210 began promisingly, but they lost early wickets to Beyers Swanepoel. Jennings and Balderson steadied the ship, but Stobo’s double strike left them reeling at 65 for 4.

Jennings found support from Flintoff and Green, but Parkinson’s leg-before dismissal of Green put Kent back in control. Blatherwick’s sixes kept Lancashire in the hunt, but Swanepoel’s catch and bowl of Blatherwick and Parkinson’s dismissal of Williams left them needing 15 off two overs.

Jennings reached his century, but Barnard’s run-out and Sutton’s dismissal off the second ball of the final over sealed Kent’s victory.

For Kent, Finch top-scored with 48, while Parkinson’s 4 for 30 and Swanepoel’s 3 for 26 were crucial. Jennings’ unbeaten 107 was in vain for Lancashire, who fell just short of their target.

Rocky Flintoff Jr. Scores Maiden Century for Lancashire's 2nd XI

Rocky Flintoff Jr. Scores Maiden Century for Lancashire’s 2nd XI

By April 23, 2024 0

Rocky Flintoff, the son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, has made a remarkable start to his cricket career, scoring a maiden century for Lancashire’s 2nd XI at the age of 16.

Flintoff, who made his second-team debut earlier this month, reached three figures against Warwickshire at Edgbaston after a 39-run partnership with his older brother Corey. Batting at No. 5, Flintoff hit several early boundaries off Warwickshire’s highly-rated seamer Che Simmons, including an inside-edge past his leg stump. He also hit a brace of leg-side sixes, the first reminiscent of his dad’s pull shot and the second an effortless pick-up over midwicket.

Flintoff put on exactly 100 in 14.3 overs with Saqib Mahmood, the England fast bowler, who is captaining Lancashire’s 2nd XI as he continues his rehabilitation from a back stress fracture. He also spent 13 overs batting with his older Corey, 18, with the pair adding 39 for the seventh wicket.

He reached his hundred when cutting Lintott through cover-point for a single, raising his left hand aloft in celebration as he ran through before raising his bat.

Both Flintoff brothers have been in Lancashire’s academy since a young age, and have played club cricket for Southport and Birkdale. They both attend Manchester Grammar School, the alma mater of former England players Michael Atherton and John Crawley as well as Lancashire’s director of cricket Mark Chilton.

Their father Andrew has returned to cricket in the last nine months, after suffering serious injuries in a high-speed crash while filming an episode of Top Gear in 2022. He will continue to work as a consultant with England at June’s T20 World Cup after spending time with their white-ball and Lions teams, and will coach Northern Superchargers in the men’s Hundred this summer.

Rocky Flintoff Scores Half-Century, Emulating Father’s Batting Style

By April 19, 2024 0

Rocky Flintoff, the 16-year-old son of legendary England cricketer Andrew Flintoff, has made a promising start to his cricketing career by scoring a half-century in a Second XI Championship match for Lancashire.

Batting at number three, Rocky scored 50 runs off 78 balls, including two fours and three sixes. His innings was reminiscent of his father’s aggressive batting style, particularly his short arm pull and hook shots.

Rocky’s performance drew comparisons to Andrew’s iconic pull shot against Brett Lee during the 2005 Ashes series, which England won. The younger Flintoff’s sixes, including a classy pull shot, evoked memories of his father’s dominance as a batting all-rounder.

Rocky’s elder brother, Corey, also played in the match and bowled four overs for Lancashire, conceding 19 runs. The match ended in a draw on Thursday due to rain.

Andrew Flintoff, who represented England from 1998 to 2009, was a formidable all-rounder. In 79 Tests, he scored 3,845 runs at an average of 31.77, with five centuries and 36 fifties. He also took 226 wickets. In 141 ODIs, Flintoff scored 3,394 runs at an average of 32.01, with three centuries and 18 fifties. He also took 169 wickets in the format. In seven T20Is, he scored 76 runs and took five wickets.

Rocky’s half-century is a testament to his potential as a cricketer. With his father’s legacy and his own talent, he has the potential to follow in his footsteps and become a successful international cricketer.
