Rocky Flintoff

[pushpinpussy]

16 years old and hit a century for England Under-19s on the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka.

Looks a really good prospect. I see that Archie Vaughan son of Michael is also playing in the team.

Got me thinking. How many cricketers have followed their dads in playing for England.

I can think of Chris Broad and Stuart Broad.

[Colburn_Claret]

Liam Botham had 1 season with Hampshire before turning to Rugby Union, then League.
His son James, Beefys grandson, plays rugby for Wales. He was born in Cardiff.

Did Mickey Stewart (father of Alec) play for England?

Arnie & Ryan Sidebottom.

David & Jonny Bairstow.

Granted, their dads didn't play many games.

[KernowHouseClaret]

David Lloyd and Graham Lloyd

Alan & Mark Butcher

Slightly different, Dean Headley's grandad was the West Indies great George Headley. I think his dad played for the Windies too.

[TheFamilyCat]

David Lloyd and Graham Lloyd

Did Graham play for England? I feel he may have played a handful of ODIs.

[ClaretTony]

I was going to say Michael Atherton & son but son hasn’t played at international level.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Yeah 6 or so England ODIs

Len & Richard Hutton
Colin & Chris Cowdrey
Bill & John Edrich

Wasn't Chris Cowdrey put straight into the England team as captain at some point in the 80's?

[TheFamilyCat]

The Willeys

[equinox]

Scott and Willie Carson

[NottsClaret]

David Lloyd and Graham Lloyd

And his brother Clive played for the Windies.

The Ealham’s. Alan was a 12th man for England but still counts.

Is RF the lovechild of Andrew Flintoff and our own dear-departed Rocky? The mind boggles!

[BurnleyFC]

Alan and Mark Butcher.

No.

[Longford Claret]

Frank Mann, George Mann.

[Marney&Mee]

Paul Allott and Lance…

[get stuck in tracy]

D'Oliveiras,Damian and Basil plus the Compton family

[TheFamilyCat]

Interesting that in most of these examples only one of the pair had a notable international career.

[ClaretTony]

Wasn't Chris Cowdrey put straight into the England team as captain at some point in the 80's?

I think so, he definitely captained England. His dad was in the first England team I can remember, he was an outstanding batsman but he'd struggle with today's game and the requirement to be able to field.

[Culmclaret]

Len & Richard Hutton
Colin & Chris Cowdrey
Bill & John Edrich

Weren’t Bill and John Edrich cousins?

[Darnhill Claret]

Think he only ever fielded as a 'slip'. Although he must have done an occasional mid on or mid off.
That's Colin Cowdrey.

[ClaretTony]

Weren’t Bill and John Edrich cousins?

They were - I'll withdraw that one

[Marney&Mee]

The Broads

The Broads

Norfolk?

[claretonthecoast1882]

Geoff & Simon Jones

[rob63]

Weren’t Bill and John Edrich cousins?

Thought they were uncle & nephew?

[ClaretTony]

Thought they were uncle & nephew?

No, cousins. One of four cousins who played first class cricket. Bill, Brian, Eric & Geoff Edrich were four brothers who played first class cricket.

[JohnDearyMe]

Did Graham play for England? I feel he may have played a handful of ODIs.

Shows you how strong Lancashire's one day XI was in the 90s as I'd forgotten he played for England a few times. Good solid batsman but not one of the star performers

[ŽižkovClaret]

Frank Mann, George Mann.

Not a brotherhood, then?

[pushpinpussy]

Rocky makes his first X1 debut today in a friendly against Cumbria at Sedbergh School prior to the one day season starting soon. What an amazing place to make your debut. Good luck lad.

[pushpinpussy]

i think we might have a star on our hands here. only 16. 88 runs today in the Cup match against Middlesex at Old Trafford. Already has a hundred for England Under-19s and for Lancashire 2nds this summer

Quality!

[Bordeauxclaret]

Excellent start. This competition has come at a good time for Lancs to blood some youngsters.
