So it's an opportune time to let you know that Rocky Flintoff has withdrawn from the Northern Superchargers' Hundred campaign because of injury and will be replaced by all-rounder Matthew Revis.
Flintoff, 17, the son of Superchargers coach and England legend Andrew, was signed in last month's wildcard draft but did not feature in the team's first three matches.
The Superchargers confirmed Flintoff has an injury, but no further details were provided.
He became Lancashire's youngest first-class cricketer last season and has played five first-class matches and eight List A games.

Former Trent Rockets & England all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraChris Wood is bowling well and it's a really good start - he is bowling a nice tricky length.
