England want enforcer bowlers who crank it up to 300mph and bang it in short, the minute Robbo gets a shot and does average half the England fan following will be calling laying into him for bowling in slow motion. I cant for that reason see him lasting long or getting a shot, unless he rips someone apart first up and buys time.
The thought of the usual England approach; wreck the bowler forever by asking him to bowl 10mph more than he's capable of, makes me hope in a way he doesnt get called up. The thought of another talented medium-fast bowler crippled and playing 3 games a year isnt that exciting.
Although the lad deserves a shot. Be nice when he gets a cap, hes been bloody fantastic for us.
He has been fantastic for you. If there is no Stokes, Curran or Woakes IPL then there might be a debut v New Zealand.
How tall is he? I have read anything from 6'1 to 6'5. Also can't get a reliable height for Archer.
Never measured him. He appears tall to me, but then again I'm not very tall, so everyone does. Certainly gets the ball to hop off a length, and his bouncer is quite deadly for a slow guy
