If I were England captain and both were available to me, I would always play Wood and Archer. And have them bowl from one end, so they're never bowling together as it could go haywire, but the pace-pressure rarely stops.

Just look at those speeds... 73rd over and such pace. Nice
He needs to be studied. The most overrated cricketer of all time.
Laughable that a certain poster above was harping on about Archer being the best in the world after a few flukey performances in that summer before he was found out and was rubbish, especially in test cricket.
To put him in the same league as the likes of Bumrah, Cummins, Rabada, Starc is hilarious. Especially when your argument is based on 'I don't care about numbers'. If winning world cups in the criteria then starc is the GOAT and no one else matters.

Again, Haris Rauf speeds and the amount of hype he gets.
He is not even in the top ten fastest bowlers and gets hyped like he's Brett Lee or Shoaib Akhtar in terms of speed.
He is a over hyped Neil Wagner who's only skill is to bowl bouncers.
I would say the best comparison for him is Wahab Riaz except less fit and more prone to injury.

Oh dear.
Someone is still getting spooked by Jofra in his dreams. The obsession is hilarious.

He is decent but massive overhyped by certain fans. After 4 year of work load he only gets 2 wickets in 1st innings against India at the lord's test and from those two wickets one was from Number 8 test batsman who was slogging at that time. Lol
He's lucky that he kept getting injured otherwise we would have been exposed by now. But 6 years after debuting he is still playing just little enough to keep the hype going for his amazing 91-92mph bowling.He is decent but massive overhyped by certain fans.

Effortlessly bowling rockets after barely playing FC cricket for years. He just oozes talent.
Joe Root rightly said yesterday that when Archer bowls, the whole crowd is on their feet.
England know how special he is, and they will do everything they can to keep him fit.

It is fascinating watching Jofra Archer bowl, we get a glimpse at what the WI bowlers of the late 70s and 80s would have been like....

It's rare to see fast bowling spells in test cricket. I can't remember the last time seeing a bowler consistently clock 90mph in this format.
Haris is a T20 bowler he couldn't pull this off in tests.
However the real test for a bowler is not the speed gun but how many wickets they take.
Still, he is not close to the likes of Akhtar, Lee, Johnson etc.
Currently wood is faster than him as are a few of the other out and Haris has not really paid test cricket but he's as fast in ODI/ t20.

Yeah he's nowhere near Akhtar Lee and Johnson. He has promised a lot but not delivered much so far.
Apart from the pace, he also doesn’t have their ability to swing and seam.
Hes just a bouncer specialist who gets some luck due to national variation.
A poor man’s Wagner and similar to a Wahab Riaz mould with bat and ball, without the fitness. The odd exciting spell.

he has a beutiful smooth action. I enjoy watching him bowl.
He isn't bowling well so far in this innings though.
It’s hard to enjoy anything he does because of his terrible attitude and the overhype he gets.
His rule breaking during Covid which risked people’s life/ so much money, followed by his victim mentality, not to mention the tweeting during test matches because he can’t handle valid criticism.
His action makes it seem effortless but he’s always getting injured and only bowls short.

Anyway Archer isnt a great bowler but sadly their stock is dry. They aren't producing Anderson's anytime soon

He is back to his best. Looks 100% fit now and is bowling with serious heat. His pace will only increase as he gets more matches under his belt.
He might have lost several years, but he is still only 30 and has an effortless action. He can play well into his late 30’s if England manage him well.
He is so watchable. A superstar bowler.

Outbowled by a 'finished' Stokes nursing a groin injury. He is being made to look better because Woakes is done, there's no Anderson/ Broad, and the others are newbies. A very good third seamer who is lucky he was injured for the last 5 years so he can continue his hype.

Yes, that pearler to Pant and that C&B of Washington that turned the game upside down were because Woakes is done.
