It's unfortunate he's not playing for Windies because of their messed up board. Such a skilled bowler with composure.
He is the best fast bowler in the world right now. Man West Indies really messed up in not picking him, Windies are so dumb
Archer did quite well but I would not call him best in the world. That title goes to Mitchell Starc or Jasprit Bumrah.
Novelty factor. Nothing special. Will get tonked around in a year's time, mark my words. I've seen Jofra taken to the cleaners by Australian domestic batsmen. He's doing what Hasan Ali in the champions trophy. Just novelty factor. Will be exposed.
In the IPL

Archer to Rashid Khan, SIX runs, whips it over the square leg boundary! Oh what a shot! He hit one like this against KKR last season and repeats it. Step back into the crease, weight transfer towards point as this yorker full ball comes in at middle stump, and he uses the pace to clip it with fast wrists to seal the win with six balls to spare

But most outrageous shot was from Pandya against Archer

Archer to HH Pandya, SIX runs, Pandya has helicoptered Archer over the midwicket boundary. Seam-up ball: full and just outside off. Pandya picks it up and whips it with a over the fence. Oh man, those wrists!
Archer to Rashid Khan, FOUR runs, shot! Superb thinking under pressure from Rashid. Takes a big step back into the crease and sets up low with a low backlift. Gets a full one at off stump and creams it past

Pretty poor from Jofra here. To start arguing against some criticism - and that too half way during a test match - is pretty childish. What Tino said is correct, he has been about the same pace as Broad in this test match.
Archer has always seemed like a moody entitled player. He is lucky he is playing for England where he has been hyped to the moon after a few good performances and it fits his arrogant personality.
Tino has been constantly criticizing him. Just got a bit tired of him.
But he should not be on any social media during the test match
He is an international sportsman playing at the highest level, barely 1 year into his career. If he cannot take non-abusive criticism then he’s really going to struggle in the future.
To tweet like a moody child all evening, in the middle of a test match shows his arrogant and self-centred personality.

WI and Pak are similar in so many ways.

who are you again?tino? get out of here. Get over it. He betrayed w.indies? w.indies dint give him the opportunity. England did. Anyway englsnd can never win anything of more with purely English players. Ever. They need their overseas players to compete.
Jofra could end up finding himself in a Simon Jones situation, lots of talent but keeps getting different injuries when he has finally completed rehab for the previous one and in the end rarely makes it onto the field.
Simon Jones? You mean Cummins.
Jofra is a fraud. He only cares about his gold chains and BLM.

Can’t say I am particularly excited about the prospect of Archer coming back.
One good Ashes series and a great World Cup, and nothing since.
A world class bowler and yet one who still flatters to deceive.
He could end up being another Simon Jones — just when you think he is about to take the field again, he picks up a fresh injury somewhere else in his body and he seems to move further away.
A mirage.

Was meant to be the next best thing since sliced bread.
Careers pretty much done, he will become another T20 mercenery and will get paid handsomly for it, but will probably be a case of what might have been for England on the red ball front, especially with the big shoes of Jimmy and Broad still waiting to be filled.
Can’t see him ever returning to red ball cricket now.
Or even ODIs for that matter.
International T20s probably, back to T20 pyjama leagues 100%
I know I keep wittering on about him as a comparison but this is exactly what happened to Simon Jones in the end: picked up every major injury in the book in the five years following his Ashes heroics, never actually played another international match of any kind. and eventually became a domestic T20 specialist back at Glamorgan. He was only able to bowl a four over spell a couple of times a week. He retired in 2013 and now has a regular day job as an insurance sales executive.
Kevin Pietersen on Archer:
“It’s terrible news for poor Jofra Archer that he’ll miss the whole summer. He’s shown moments of brilliance for England and other teams and it’s just a horrible blow for him. It’s difficult to imagine him recovering from this to play long-form cricket again, that’s the horrible reality. Hopefully, he can still carve out a top-level white-ball career"
“His stress fracture to the back follows a pattern of these injuries being sustained by England bowlers. I do think that the number of sports scientists can complicate things far too much. When I was playing, fast bowlers used to bowl a lot of overs in the nets and got bowling fit”
"Several past fast-bowling greats went through the hard yards in their preparation and weren’t molly-coddled in between games. Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Glenn McGrath and all the other greats weren’t told how many balls they could bowl by a sports scientist every day. They knew their bodies and got properly fit. It feels now like England’s fast bowlers can’t cope with tough, long days with the ball because they’re not used to it”

18 months since he last played and the most overrated player in the history of cricket continues to get extraordinary hype!
He literally has multiple articles on the front page of cricinfo, all because he finally bowled 9 wicketless and expensive overs in an informal warmup but managed to bowl a good bouncer.
I for one, hope he gets back to full fitness and plays for England regularly so the vomit inducing hype can finally be laid to rest.
He gets extraordinary hype because he is an extraordinary bowler. A fit Archer is the bead bowler across all formats. He is a superstar.
Can’t wait to see him and Wood bowl in tandem for England. His return will immediately elevate England’s attack to a new level.
