Twitter reacts as Jofra Archer hits Steve Smith with a bouncer and smiles after latter walks back

Steve Smith had to walk back off the ground after a devastating Jofra Archer short ball hit him on the back of his neck after injuring his left-arm. It was Smith who shuffled across the stumps and by the time he was making himself ready to pull the bouncer, the ball came at a 92.4mph speed, making him floor. After realising that the former Aussie skipper had got a concussion on his head, the physios asked him to leave. However, Archer’s smile just after the incident didn’t go down well with Twitterati as they have proper hate for him on the microblogging site.

Not cool England! 

Jofra Archer, what have you done!?

Now that's scary! 

#Ashes2019 Joffra Archer take a look at this image. It’s of Phil Hughes minutes before he was killed by a ball very similar to the one you just felled Steve Smith with. You wouldn’t be laughing at a man slaughter charge!!!! pic.twitter.com/5u69m6GxLf

Basic courtesy!

Say what you want of Archer as a bowler but as a human being, laughing and not at least checking on the welfare of someone you've just felled is a pretty shit look.#ENGvsAUS

Unforgivable! 

Jofra Archer seriously injures Steve Smith, and goes back to his mark to have a laugh with his mate... come on #ashes @JofraArcher

At least someone was cheering for Steve Smith!

Two sensational talents

One incredible #Ashes contest

Our best wishes are with Steve Smith pic.twitter.com/BRlLrqR7Hm

Absolutely pathetic behaviour! 

Anyone booing Steve Smith as he went off needs to have a serious word with themselves.



Not only was it a fine innings, but that was a seriously nasty blow, the consequences of which thankfully at this stage don't look serious as they could have been.#Ashes2019#ENGvAUS🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺

Arrogant?

Jofra not showing concern for Smith after he hit him. I have watched him a couple of times in CC where he has clonked batsmen on the helmet and gave a stare. A typical fast bowler belonging to another time #Ashes2019

That's concerning!

Smith is leaving the field. He looks ok.



Oddly, has left his gloves, helmet and bat behind.



Leaves a sick feeling in the stomach watching that.

Double Standards narrative now?

Salty Australians having a go at Jofra Archer for bowling a bouncer at Steve Smith? 😂😂



Pot, Kettle, Black



Not Archers fault Smith couldn’t play a bouncer. When Australia did it, it was fine 🙄 #EngvAus

The only way to get Steve Smith off the field! 

You can only do away with Steve Smith when you play him dirty ...🤷🏿‍♂️

All of a sudden this match has become interesting! 

I have a feeling with the short turn around between this & the next test Starc will be back in. Seeing Archer laughing while his mate was on the floor hurt makes me believe Starc will be out for blood & I literally mean blood. #Ashes #Ashes19

And he is back! 

Well done Steve Smith for coming back out after being hit.



Those booing, firstly when he went off and now when he comes back on... just stop it. You're embarrassing yourself
