Twitter reacts as Steve Smtih returns to bat again despite sickening hit on neck by Jofra Archer

I think when @stevesmith49 came to bat again he truly deserved a standing ovation. He played with great skill, courage, determination and incredible discipline.#Ashes19 #ENGvAUS #Lords

It's just weird to me when people completely switch focus to grievances, and that's all they take from the game.



Today I got to watch Steve Smith. And I got to watch Jofra Archer. And they were bloody incredible.

While you are checking for concussion, can you also check if Steve Smith's back is okay after carrying the Australian team all by himself? #Ashes19

If there is anyone who bowls a meaner, crueller, better disguised bouncer than Jofra Archer, he hasn't been seen yet.

Jofra Archer is already a superstar ... Not many in the history of the game clear Bars to make sure they don’t miss the moment ... On debut he has already achieved that ... #Ashes #Lords

Jofra Archer .. Shame on you for giggling and not even consoling of what has happened to Smith..You must be booed in the stadium..And England crowd is the worst in the world.

While Smith was in excruciating pain after being hit on the head, Archer gave an evil laughter and the crowd of so called home of cricket were booing the best batsman in test cricket.



As a cricket lover, I'm ashamed.

Smith was and will remain a champion! #Ashes2019

#SteveSmith is G.O.A.T player in test cricket. Very difficult to get rid of him in any condition.#Ashes19

Jofra Archer rattling every Indian cricket fan in the world in a game that doesn’t even involve them, what a guy

I see England are doing their best to lose the cricket #Ashes2019

It’s like England are trying to lose a game that is dead set for a draw #Ashes2019

Steve Smith is extra special . Another outstanding innings. #Ashes19

I... can't believe Smith is coming back out. Also... any people booing him need to have a word with themselves.

Joe root having a bad patch but he was overrated too #Ashes19
