Glenn McGrath Loves what he sees in Jofra Archer
London: The legendary Glenn McGrath is a big supporter of Jofra Archer and feels the England pace sensation is going to play Test cricket for a long time.
“I’ve been a big supporter of Archer for a long time and I love what I see there,” Glenn McGrath was quoted as saying by BBC where he will be part of the Test Match Special commentary team and contribute a regular column to the BBC Sport website.
“It’s quite rare to be able to bowl with pace and accuracy for such a long time. To have pace is so unique and with Archer, it is all-natural. His action doesn’t look too stressful, he has a nice, smooth run-up and goes through the crease really well.
It’s a fairly stress-free action and he’s young and fit. He keeps it simple: “He just comes in, bowls good areas and with good pace.”
Archer took the cricketing fraternity by storm on his Test debut, bowling hostile spells which put even the likes of Steve Smith in all sorts of discomfort during the course of the game, reminding fans of the famous bodyline series. IANS
