Andrew Flintoff’s 16-year-old son Rocky belts century against Cricket Australia XI

The teenage son of England legend Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has smashed a century against the Cricket Australia XI on Thursday.

Rocky Flintoff, who was representing the England Lions in a tour match, finished with 108 off 217 deliveries, belting nine fours and six maximums along the way.

His ton helped the visitors to a healthy first innings lead at Allan Border Oval, bowled out for 319 in response to the Aussies' 214.

The 16-year-old has been turning heads back home and could be a player of the future.

With his father coaching the side, many were surprised to see Flintoff earn selection, especially after he only signed his first professional contact with Lancashire last June.

In his four first-class games to date, Flintoff has scored 87 runs with a top score of 32.

He isn't the first son of an English great to start making a name for himself either.

Last year, Archie Vaughan – son of former Test skipper Michael – took 11 wickets in a match for Somerset in a thrilling County victory.
