Another One!!
Jofra Archer has been stupid, owes a huge apology to the West Indies touring party and his fellow team mates, however some of the racist comments I have seen are out of order.

Rules Are Rules!!
A fast bowler with attitude is usually a good thing within reason but Jofra Archer's decision to break the strict protocols surrounding Test cricket this summer looks like wilful disobedience bordering on sabotage - and that cannot be taken lightly

Speaking of the England vs West Indies series, Jason Holder and Co won the opening game by four wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the three match series. Stakes will be very high on the second game as the visitors have a golden opportunity to clinch the series while it will be a do-or-die encounter for the home side. Nevertheless, England’s regular skipper Joe Root is back for the crucial encounter which will certainly strengthen the side’s batting order while veteran pacer Stuart Broad is set to replace Archer.
