There are suggestions on social media that he went out for a meal to a restaurant in Manchester. No idea if that's true or not.

Would have been more exciting if it was the Pizza Express in Woking...


Update: An ECB spokesperson confirmed that Archer's breach was while travelling between the Ageas Bowl and Emirates Old Trafford, and later clarified that he had stopped off en route at his flat in Brighton, a breach that only came to light after the squad had been announced.

Such an anti-climax. Kyle Walker was doing worse than this every day during lockdown :LOL:

I hated it when I lost rythym. Bowling feels so alien when you’re thinking about your run up. I never changed my run up length. 17 easy steps from the popping crease. I would then stand that the end and just do a mental walkthrough of the run up looking at each step it would take and my take off area and front foot landing spot. Vary rarely went wrong and when it did it felt awful.

Yep, horrible when you lose your run, makes it feel like everything is out of sync and so hard to commit to your delivery. Can't imagine what it must be like feeling like that in a Test match, bad enough in the nets :LOL:

Nothing better as a batsman seeing a bowler lose his run up :)

Sibley has some fairly hard hands. Does lunge at it too. Could be some close lads interested

It is the modern way isn't it? With the emphasis on white ball cricket and the desire to attack the idea of waiting for the ball and playing with soft hands is a rare thing now. Another one for us old schoolers to look back at whimsically :D
