Archer on level of Cummins/Rabada? This guy will start whining and fake injuries if he is made to toil in the subcontinent heat on unforgiving pitches. He can't be bothered to up his pace on a wicket 'not worth it' at one of the fastest venues in England (where Broad/Anderson are getting good carry), and you believe he can come close to the marathon spells Cummins/Rabada have bowled in un-friendly conditions?
None of these guys can unleash the kind of pace and bounce that Archer can despite having a gingerly run-up. It's like he can flip a switch when he's on-song. That's one of the things that makes him so dangerous and unique. He may need to find some consistency in his lengths because he's played very few tests. But quality-wise and ability-wise he is in the same league as the other 3.
