The poms might have found a cricketer for their national team in a couple of years time after he qualifies. Jofra Archer from Barbados has moved to England and is playing for Surrey. He bowls bloody quickly and gets good boune. He looks about 195-200cm. He took a great catch on the boundary moving quickly to catch a big hit going for 6 and knowing he was going to step over the rope he nicely throws it up for his team mate to catch.

Jofra Archer has rapidly become one of the most exciting young allrounders in English county cricket. Born in Barbados to an English father and Bajan mother, he is ambitious to follow his Sussex teammate Chris Jordan into the England side. It was Jordan who first alerted Sussex to Archer's talents after facing him in a net session in Barbados and his assessment that "the sky is the limit" has been borne out by batting and bowling spells of great promise.
It would be a seven-year qualification to play for England, not complete until 2022-23 which at the speed he is developing would deny international cricket of a gifted cricketer for around four years, frustration no doubt for West Indies cricket.
Archer, a silky fast bowler with a high action capable of speeds in the mid-80s and dangerous lower-middle order batsman, played for West Indies under 19s in 2013 but after suffering a serious back injury he slipped out of the Barbados system. Instead, he rallied while playing for Sussex's second XI and for Horsham in the Sussex Premier League.
Well he's got to bowl the last over with 13 required - let's see what he's made of.
Lehmann out off ball one - good start!
