Rocky Flintoff, the son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is making headlines by following his father's footsteps. At just 16 years and 291 days old, Rocky has scored a century for the England Lions and breaks a long-standing record set by his father. The England Lions toured Australia in January this year and played a four-day match against Cricket Australia at the Brisbane ground. During the match Rocky has impressed everyone with a brilliant knock of 108 runs off 127 balls in the first innings and help England to post a good total.
With this performance he broke his father's 27-year-old record and become the youngest player to score a century for the England Lions (also known as England A).
