Twitter reacts to Jofra Archer giving Australia massive scare at Lord's
Jofra Archer, who was made his Test debut for England at Lord's, was the highlight of the match as he floored Steve Smith in the first innings and remained intimidating throughout the game. Cricket fans on Twitter went mental and reacted on Jofra Archer's stunning display of bowling.
Labuschagne showed great temperament!
You never know when opportunity comes. Sometimes we spend too much time complaining it doesn't (and don't recognise it when it does!). Heard a great definition of luck: being ready when opportunity strikes. Marnus Labuschagne is illustrating that so well. Is he lucky?Is he ready?

A complete pacer!
We are watching the arrival of a generational talent at Test level. Jofra Archer has it all: pace, accuracy, bounce, movement & it all looks effortless. It’s languid, easy pace; echoes of Michael Holding - Whispering Death. #Ashes

If Archer is going to play cricket helmets must be reconstructed...
Most lethal bowler??
Jofra Archer’s short stuff is pretty scary, even from this sofa in Bradford. #Ashes2019

Please note this fact!
Jofra Archer hates Australians more than anybody

Take a bow Archer!
44 overs by Jofra Archer this Test - second most by an England seamer on debut since 2007 after Chris Jordan's 45.4 overs against Sri Lanka at Lord's in 2014.#Ashes2019

So England have found a way to get Steve Smith out, but not really in the way anyone would want. Jofra Archer not just mighty quick but pretty lethal too

Exactly!!
Bouncers are a part & parcel of the game but whenever a bowler hits a batsman on the head and he falls, courtesy requires that the bowler must go & check on him. It was not nice of Archer to just walk away while Smith was in pain. I was always the first one to run to the batsman.
