The Flintoffs

I see eldest son Corey (and father) has left Alderley Edge and to play for St Annes.  Corey must be 15 ish and playing senior cricket.  Rocky a couple of years younger maybe was in their seconds last weekend.

I see Rocky has played for the 2nd XI- is he an allrounder like his dad?

Don't think so at senior level.  Corey is the bowler whilst Rocky bats.  Although they both seemed to struggle to get games for Southport & Birkdale last year, they could have bad availability, but seems strange they are now County 2nd XI having not played much senior club cricket.  Maybe they left the club.

Young Rocky just reached his hundred.

With a quick scan through the Ball By Ball. He went to 65 to 75 in 2 balls 4 and 6. Then 12 singles to 87, a 2 to 89 and then 11 singles. I guess he put his head down to make sure he reached his century. About 31 dot balls in that sequence.

They have both played very little club cricket due to school cricket and injuries.

I really don't see how school cricket compares to first team club cricket.
