Electric Archer lights up England to justify return
The Guardian
|July 16, 2025
Fast bowler displayed all the attributes which set him apart from others, to deliver optimism for the Ashes tour
The electric return of Jofra Archer in England's tight victory against India at Lord's set straight a couple of narratives that arose during his four-year absence from Test cricket. It is often said that a player's stock can rise when they are sat on the sidelines - yet sometimes, in some quarters, the reverse can also be true.
Chief among them was a reminder that England possess a special fast bowling talent here, Archer displaying the attributes that set him apart from others. As the man himself confidently put it regarding the 89.6mph beauty to Rishabh Pant that angled in, nipped away and gave the snappers the stumplosion they craved: "I guess it was just a matter of when, if I kept bowling like that. I can't imagine many left-handers getting away with it."
