A legspinner and a 90+ mph paceman. Back to the glory days of Salisbury and Malcolm imo. :-\

Tbf Devon won us a few Tests. Salisbury was just woeful. If Stone can stay fit and Archer comes good there may be life after Jimmy and Broad yet. Still no opening batsman though :(

With that name I'm guessing he isn't English born and bred.

Which country have you lot pinched this one from?

Does he talk with that lovely Caribbean lilt and a deep baritone voice like Michael Holding?

Lord but I could listen to Michael Holding talk about cricket for hours. IF so, he should be playing for the West Indies. :nod:

The pitch is largely irrelevant when you're capable of bowling 90+mph yorkers on demand imo.

He'll only be 25 when we next tour Australia. How do you suppose Steve Smith will enjoy Archer fizzing them at his throat? :-)

No. He's Bajan rather than Jamaican. They have less sonorous accents, but in my experience spend less time threatening you with physical violence in them due to being much, much nicer.

We had an overseas last summer from St Thomas called Garnet. Huge and quick, if a little erratic. And just about the loveliest man you could hope to meet. Wd Garnet.
