Jofra Archer gets into Twitter spat with former West Indies player Tino Best

England pacer Jofra Archer got into a quarrel with West Indies fast-bowler Tino Best after the latter underlined that Archer’s pace had declined in the Test series against New Zealand.

Best took to his official twitter handle and wrote: ‘Is anyone concerned that Archer is bowling so slow and only in his second series???? Even in the 1st test pace was down ever tho he had so much rest before NZ tour ?? Is he HURT ?? like we need to take the Right Hand Fast and put him to Medium- Fast’.

The tweet did not go done well with Archer, so he got back with a witty response. He stated that he and his skipper were not to bothered about the issue. However, Best hit back with another snide remark and mentioned that some people doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism well. This broadside didn’t end here as Archer stated that Best could have messaged him personallyinstead of posting all his observation on social media.

Archer said: “If that was really your intention you would of messaged me personally, Barbados isn’t big you could of gotten into contact with me but go on have your moment on Twitter.”

 

Jofra Archer was outstanding during the Ashes, but could not make a replica of his performance against the Kiwis as he gave away plenty of runs and was not as penetrative. His pace was noticeably down and picked up only two wickets.

“I think he’s found that Test cricket is hard, and you’ve got to keep backing up those performances over and over again,” Root told Sky Sports. “You can sometimes bowl extremely well and get no reward.

“And he’s young,” Root added. “He’s right at the start of his career, and as I said at the start of the trip, there are big expectations on him. He’s still got a lot of learning to do, but one thing I know for sure is that he’s a fantastic talent and there’s no doubt he’s going to contribute massively for England in Test cricket.
