'Pressure Will Follow Him, But He Has Been Up To The Task': Steven Croft On Rocky Flintoff
Cricket Australia XI: Lancashire coach Steven Croft spoke on rising English star Rocky Flintoff, son of legendary former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff. Croft admitted that the 18-year-old would be burdened with the pressure of being the son of such an iconic cricketer, but emphasised that he has done well so far.
Rocky scored his maiden first senior century on Tuesday against Somerset in the One-Day Cup for Lancashire before his team's tournament came to a close with the defeat to Durham in the knockout stage on Friday. The teenager made 22 as Durham won the quarterfinal by 162 runs.
Speaking on his short and impressive journey, Croft highlighted that the pressure would be there on Rocky due to his surname. "Naturally, pressure will follow him, unfortunately, because of his surname, but he has been up to the task so far," Croft told BBC Sport. "The way he has carried himself in this competition has been brilliant."
