Imagine four Jofra Archers steaming in all day and bouncing the daylights out of your team , how would you respond as a batting unit. That was WI in 1980s thats why they are the best cricket team in the history of world cricket.

No. They were not. 95 mph in tests is no joke and is an extremely rare commodity. You can count them in one hand since speed guns are in use from 99. Lee, Akhtar, Johnson, Starc who have done it in test cricket more consistently than anyone. Only 4 in last 20 years and you supposed to say WI had 4 at once. Even WI has only produced Jofra in two decades.

Common man stop it with your speed gun nonsense, they did not have to hit 95mph every ballĀ  to be effective.They all had genuine pace go and read accounts the players who faced them.

How tall is Archer, Archer with his high arm bowling action sure looksĀ extractingĀ more bounce than Flintoff. Batsmen can handle either speed or bounce..ButĀ speed with bounce coupled with accurracy is a deadly combination.Archer was right on the money in that spell wonderful to watch.

Ā 

One of the fastest spell you will ever see from england player.

Pretty sure he used some slower balls flintomlff, harmison didnt use in tests

Australia needed starc hereĀ 

Yeah would be fun to watch pace vs pace. I can see him picked in place of peter siddle in next test.

Agreed no idea why Siddle is being preferred.

Starc starts spraying at times and can't maintain pressure built by others. Siddle has bowled really tight in this series without luck but starc has x factor like archer.
