Watch: Andrew Flintoff’s son Rocky hits three sixes for Lancashire’s Second XI, resembling dad’s iconic pull shot

Watch: Andrew Flintoff’s son Rocky smashed three huge sixes to evoke memories of his father’s distinctive pull shot during Lancashire’s Second XI Championship match against Durham.

Rocky, who turned 16 a few days ago, tore bowlers apart en route to his unbeaten half-century for his father’s former county, Lancashire.

Coming in at five, Rocky hit 50 not out off 78 balls. His knock included three sixes – all coming off pull shots –  to evoke memories of his father’s batting during the 2005 Ashes.

Andrew Flintoff was famous for his short-arm pull and hook shots – none more than against Brett Lee’s thunderbolts in 2005. It seems that Rocky has mastered his father’s signature stroke.

Rocky’s elder brother, Corey, also played in the game and bowled four overs in Durham’s first innings without any success. With the weather intervening, the match was eventually called off as a draw.
