The Story in Brief
Rocky Flintoff, the 18-year-old son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, scored his maiden senior century for Lancashire in the One-Day Cup. He made 123 runs off 76 balls, including seven sixes and ten fours, in a 174-run win over Somerset.
His partnership of 214 with opener Keaton Jennings (156) helped Lancashire post 443, their highest total in List A cricket. The victory secured Lancashire's place in the quarter-finals, where they will face Ben Stokes' Durham.
The Indian Opinion
Rocky Flintoff's century was a fine knock, but the chatter about 'dynasties' and comparisons to his father are premature. Andrew was a world-class all-rounder; Rocky is an 18-year-old batter with one good List A innings. Jennings's remark that 'his family can't score his runs for him' is the sanest comment yet. The real test comes when bowlers study his weaknesses and the pitches get tougher. Can he rebuild after a failure?
