Archer added some fuel to
the Ashes fire yesterday
ahead of next week’s
fourth Test, with the Aussie
dismissing the threat of the
England paceman and the
bowler returning the dig.
Smith, who returns today
in a tour match against
Derbyshire, promised to
hit back against the man
who left him stricken on
the Lord’s turf and forced
him to miss the amazing

launching a legal claim against
the EFL for negligence over
the league’s decision to allow
the sale of the club last
December to Steve Dale,
whose mismanagement led to
the Shakers being kicked out
of League One.
Sportsmail understands that
some players, including
captain Neil Danns, may take
advice on whether they have
grounds for a court case.
Meanwhile, the EFL’s other
crisis club, Bolton Wanderers,
