Overview
- Rocky Flintoff, at just 16 years old, scored 108 runs from 127 balls for England Lions in Brisbane, batting at No. 9.
- The Lions, coached by his father Andrew Flintoff, were in a precarious position at 161 for seven before Rocky's century lifted them to 319, securing a 105-run lead.
- Flintoff's innings included six sixes and nine fours, with his century celebrated enthusiastically by teammates and his father in the stands.
- The match, played against a Cricket Australia XI, does not have first-class status, so the century will not count as his maiden first-class hundred.
- Rocky, who signed a professional contract with Lancashire last year, is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in English cricket.
