Archer must emulate
England pace greats
to revive Ashes hopes
By Scyld Berry
CRICKET JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR
It is some challenge that awaits Eng-
land’s cricketers at Lord’s on Wednes-
day. This is the 50th Ashes series since
the First World War, and only thrice in
those hundred years have England
come back from losing the opening
Test to win the series.
On each occasion England required
the assistance of great pace bowling to
turn the tide and rout Australia. In
1954-55 it was Frank Tyson who
knocked over the Australians, as if he
were Mike. After a quiet first Test, he
shortened his run-up, maximised his
massive shoulders, and took 27 wickets
in the last four Tests at only 15 runs
each: it was widely agreed to be the
fastest bowling to that point yet seen.
In 1981 it was Ian Botham who, after
standing down as captain, stood up.
Australia won the first Test, five
more remained, and Botham took 31
wickets at 20 each. Two spectacular
centuries did not come amiss.
It was Andrew Flintoff in 2005, after
England had lost the opening Test at
Lord’s. In the last four Tests he may not
have taken the new ball but he led Eng-
land’s assault, taking 20 wickets at 23
each against a batting line-up which
had been impregnable for a decade.
Batting like Beefy, too, Flintoff turned
the series.
The captains who had this firepower
at their disposal – Len Hutton, Michael
Brearley and Michael Vaughan – were
honoured by the Queen and ennobled
in the game’s history; the fast bowlers
themselves were recognised sooner or
Debutant has key role and
faces epic duel with Smith
Paine backs star batsman
to defy any bowling plan
later. No further incentive should be
necessary for England’s current cap-
tain, Joe Root, and for the fast bowler
who is going to tip the balance of this
series England’s way, if anybody is:
Jofra Archer.
It is enormous expectation to place
upon a debutant, but while Botham
and Flintoff were experienced all-
rounders by the time of their finest
hour, Tyson was the same age as Archer
is now, 24, and had played a single Test
before he toured Australia. Archer,
moreover, has already packed many
games of cricket into his career, around
the world from England to Australia,
India, Bangladesh, the United Arab
Emirates, Ireland – where he made his
England debut in a 50-over interna-
tional at the start of May – quite apart
from his native Barbados. England can-
not have had a debutant fast bowler so
well versed in the techniques of deliv-
ering a red or white ball.
As Stuart Broad had the measure of
David Warner in the opening Test at
Edgbaston, dismissing him from round
the wicket both times (three times if
you include Warner’s leg glance to the
keeper which was neither given out by
the umpire nor reviewed), Archer is
needed to dismiss Steve Smith above
all others. Smith scored 144 and 142 at
Edgbaston to be player of the match
and take his aggregate in his last seven
Tests against England to 1,116 runs at
the average of 139.50.
This promises to be one of the all-
time duels. Archer and Smith know all
about each other: as team-mates with
Rajasthan Royals, they have sparred
against each other in many a net. Smith
will know every type of delivery Archer
has in his quiver; but Archer has to
force Smith into only one fatal mistake
per innings.
Smith, for certain, will no longer be
allowed to camp on his back foot out-
side off stump and wait, as he did for
England’s bowlers of lesser pace, not
only at Edgbaston but in Australia dur-ing the previous Ashes series. Archer
has used his time in T20 cricket to per-
fect his 90mph yorker, for a start, while
his bouncer has an almost unique qual-
ity in being so straight, bowled from
wicket to wicket. Smith, however, will
be anything but a sitting duck.
“The beauty of Steve is that you can
come up with a plan and he’s good
enough to adapt really quickly,” said
Australia’s captain, Tim Paine, after the
tourists’ practice match in Worcester,
while England’s players had no red-ball
game anywhere in the land. And
this was not the usual stuff dished out
by a team’s propaganda department,
because it is true. “I’ve seen him do it
[adapt] between balls,” Paine said.
“I think that’s what makes him
[Smith] the best player in the world –
his ability to adapt to any plan that’s
thrown at him. I think he processes it
quicker than other players and adapts
on the spot,” Paine said. Quite a duel,
then, is in store at Lord’s this week
between Australia’s champion and the
man England hope, in the absence of
James Anderson, will be theirs.
The caveat about Archer is stamina:
he will surely make a sudden impact
but can he make a sustained one? He
has not played a first-class game since
last September; and those champion-
ship matches he has played for Sussex
have all been in the second division,
where the capability of batsmen to bat
all day has been somewhat less than
Smith’s. It will be in his third and fourth
spells that Archer can turn himself into
not only a World Cup medallist but
England’s match-winner in this series.
In any event there is a lot to be said
for the selection of Sam Curran, espe-
cially if the bad weather continues into
the Test. By playing instead of Jack
Leach or Joe Denly, Curran can reduce
the load on Ben Stokes, so he can focus
more on batting, and on Archer, ena-
bling the debutant to bowl spells which
are short, sharp, and even Tysonian, or
Bothamesque, or Flintoffian.Horse Racing results

wenty-two days. That
was how long the
honeymoon, between
World Cup glory and
Ashes capitulation,
lasted. We can criticise
the schedule but once the stage has
been set, all the actors can do is get
on with it.
“They have got to write it off,” says
Dr Amanda Owens, a sports and
performance psychologist, on
England’s loss in the first Test. “Many
of England’s players are obviously
mentally and physically fatigued from
the World Cup, but the more that they
dwell on this, the more it will carry on.
“It’s a clean slate, it’s like a tennis
match,” explains the former tennis
international. “If you lose the first set,
you’ve got to blank that and start
afresh; remember your whole game
plan. You cannot be thinking about theMind games that
can lay foundation
for the hosts to
rise again in series
Isabelle Westbury asks leading sports psychologists how
England can shake off the opening defeat at Edgbaston
Rested Buttler relishing Australia battle
Continued from Page 1
it’s gone now and we’re focused on
Test cricket, but there’s no hangover
from that. It’s done now, we’re excited
for the Test matches and we need to
turn up, prepare well and play well.”
Buttler has spoken before about the
emotional toll the World Cup took,
admitting that had England lost the
final, won with the last ball in the
super over, he would not have known
how to play cricket again.
Liam Plunkett, a fellow World Cup
winner, has also spoken about the dif-
ficult emotions he has felt since the
tournament finished but, unlike But-
tler, he has not gone straight into an
Ashes series.
Michael Vaughan, the former Eng-
land captain, has called for players to
be given a break if they were struggling
with the psychological demands of
playing for England.
Buttler has had a few days off since
Edgbaston to recover, rather than
heading straight back to the nets.
He said: “I had some time off. I en-
joyed just getting away from it but I’ll
come in tomorrow and practise and
have three really good days practice to
give myself the best chance [at Lord’s].”The Lancashire batsman and wicket-
keeper will be hoping to perform bet-
ter in the second Test after recording
scores of five and one as England lost in
Birmingham after looking to be on top
during day one.
He takes positives from the game,
despite a disappointing personal per-
formance and a heavy defeat.
“I think we played good cricket for a
lot of it,” he said. “From having a side
120 for eight having lost the toss. Not
being able to take those two wickets
quicker was obviously a huge part of
the game.”Buttler was speaking at an event to
promote Kookaburra’s new SmartBall,
a microchipped cricket ball that enables
real-time feedback.Blasts from the past England bowlers who routed Australia to turn
