It has been a difficult and chastening few days for the new England superstar... but Jofra Archer is 支援する and all looks to be forgiven after he 侮辱する/軽蔑するd strict 支配するs ahead of the second 実験(する)

  • Jofra Archer stepped out of his hotel room for the first time during the 実験(する)?
  • He ran around the Old Trafford 外野 before going through a bowling 開会/開廷/会期
  • Archer was 設立する to have 違反d strict 支配するs ahead of the second 実験(する) match?
  • But he is likely to return with 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd and James Anderson for the next match?

Jofra Archer 現れるd blinking into the Manchester sunlight on Sunday, impeccably 観察するing Covid 規則s as he went, to have a very modern practice 開会/開廷/会期 that puts him straight 支援する in 論争 for Friday's third 実験(する).

Archer, 完全にする with gloves and mask, stepped out of his hotel room ― which must have felt like a 刑務所,拘置所 独房 since he was 設立する to have 侮辱する/軽蔑するd strict 支配するs ahead of this second 実験(する) ― for the first time at 7am to run 一連の会議、交渉/完成する the Old Trafford 外野.

Then later, with England 緊張するing every sinew without him to earn the victory that would keep the Wisden トロフィー within their reach, Archer warmed up in the 逮捕するs before what must have been the strangest bowling 開会/開廷/会期 at unguarded stumps he has had.?

He was found to have flouted strict rules ahead of England's second Test against West Indies

Archer, watched by four coaches wearing masks themselves, bowled six balls and then had to collect them himself before repeating the 過程, to 確実にする nobody else touched them as his five-day 孤立/分離 period took another surreal turn.


What a difficult and chastening few days it has been for the new superstar, who has had enough experience of Kipling's twin ペテン師s to last him a lifetime in the past year. England were rightfully furious at Archer for the unscheduled detour 経由で his flat in Hove on his 旅行 from Southampton to Manchester that could have burst the whole biosecure 泡 that has got the 実験(する) show 支援する on the road.

But this was (疑いを)晴らす 証拠 tha t a line has been drawn under Archer's foolishness and England want him 支援する for a third 実験(する) that, after their 生産力のある burst with the ball in the final 開会/開廷/会期 of the fourth day, could yet be a series decider.

It is 権利 that England have moved on now. Team director Ashley Giles might have 目的(とする)d both バーレル/樽s at Archer on Thursday when he had to be left out of this second 実験(する), but he balanced his 批評 by 強調ing it was very much a first real offence.

Then Ben Stokes, who knows all about redemption after his さまざまな 捨てるs with 当局, 陳列する,発揮するd the compassion that has come with 成熟 when he said the team would be keeping a careful 注目する,もくろむ on their 同僚 while he was left stewing on his own.

Once England were 確かな of Archer's 悔いる and that he was sincere in his 陳謝, they were 権利 to just 罰金 him around £15,000 and give him an 公式の/役人 警告 rather than the 中断 for the last 実験(する) that looked likely when his offence was discovered.

As long as he has truly learned from what could have been an 極端に 高くつく/犠牲の大きい mistake, then he should return against the West Indies 味方する he left behind to make his life with England when these 味方するs play out the final 一時期/支部 of this unique 小旅行する.

It was 重要な Jason 支えるもの/所有者 and West Indies gave their blessing to Archer's return to practice a day ahead of schedule. They have made more sacrifices than anyone 伴う/関わるd to make this series happen and they had every 権利 to feel let 負かす/撃墜する by Archer.

But, as with everything they have done since they agreed to this 小旅行する, West Indies 行為/法令/行動するd with dignity and made it (疑いを)晴らす they have forgiven a man who could easily have been lining up for them this summer.

England will certainly want Archer, and the 残り/休憩(する)d 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd and Jimmy Anderson, 支援する if they are going to be at their most potent in a third 実験(する) that follows 速く after the first two.

Their bowling rotation 政策 has seemed muddled in this series. It was a mistake to leave out Stuart 幅の広い at the Ageas Bowl and they somehow ended up without their two fastest bowlers, Archer and 支持を得ようと努めるd, at Old Trafford while also leaving out the man who knows this ground better than anyone, Jimmy Anderson.

England will certainly want Archer, and the rested Mark Wood and Jimmy Anderson, back

But the 危険 of throwing the same attack into 支援する-to-支援する 実験(する)s after such a long lay-off was 論証するd by West Indies when their 急速な/放蕩な bowlers struggled for the first two days in Manchester and that is at least one mistake England are not going to make.

Anderson popped up in Sky's Big Brother-style diary room on Sunday for a far いっそう少なく 爆発性の 外見 than that made by 幅の広い when he was left out at the Ageas Bowl. Anderson is 明確に philosophical, coming up to his 38th birthday, about 行方不明の 実験(する)s and said he hopes to play in four of the six this summer.

So, even if England bowl themselves to an ありそうもない victory, more changes look sure to be made to their attack on Friday. That 含むs a return for a chastened but hopefully wiser Archer to carry on where he left off on the last day in Southampton.

More changes look to be on their way for the third Test, including a return for Archer
