The Best Batsman v Bowler Spell EVER? | Smith v Archer in Full | Ashes 2019 | Lord's

[@alpharomeo1772]

Archer seems to take a casual walk while bowling and produces an absolute ripper from no where. Seen so many times.

[@ayandeepmandal]

I have heard a lot of players say that archer runs very fast. It's his long legs which makes it seem effortless. Actually he gains a lot of momentum before releasing the ball.

[@khari_baat]

The pace of old bowlers is super hyped. You can see it in videos.

[@ayandeepmandal]

@@omen786171 yes, i think it too. What possibly be the reason that players used to bowl SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the the bowlers of our times, when we have better knowledge of various trainings to increase the speed of bowling? Absense of accurate speed measuring instruments is the reason of that hype. Cricket is more competitive now, and players are fitter and stronger.

[@ayandeepmandal]

@Charmineder does that make bowlers slower?

[@ayandeepmandal]

@Charmineder not really very convinced with this, brother. There had always been bowlers who preferred lower speed with more control and players who just wanted to be fast. The present day is no exception and in fact zaheer khan has been a more effective bowler than shaun tait having 20kmph less speed. One day cricket is made more of a batsman dominated game for more viewership and that made bowlers look less fearsome. So some of them went for smart bowling aiming a better economy. But there has been a lot who never wanted to compromise with speed. Moreover cricket being a good source of income more and more talents are getting attracted. So there is no reason today's bowlers are less faster than before, although a percentage of them went for compromised speed to concede less runs.

[@ayandeepmandal]

@Charmineder that is true to some extent. Nowadays speed is not the best weapon in limited over formats. So bowlers don't take the risk of injury for a ball that's going to hit the boundary. Now coming to that competition.... Obviously bowlers will get all out to deliver the fastest ball for their pride. So, the balls bowled in a match were never that fast at all. Even players of these era are that fast. Starc crossed 160+ mark, watson says in psl there are 2 bowlers in every team who constantly bowls over 150. India has never produced the fastest of the bowlers, still there are a few who bowled deliveries over 150kmph multiple times. If there happens a competition like that now, i m pretty sure there will be more than 3-4 bowlers who will bowl over 160, considering everyone will go all out.

Hats off to you smith. You are legend. Other batsmen can learn from you to show intent in difficult situation.

[@purnanand92]

3:45 daylight between glove and ball and umpire goes for ultraedge😂

[@SK-ge3si]

They have to follow every routine even if they already know..such are the rules mate..

[@kashishpannu2128]

smith is a legend

[@makarandborse2915]

Archer is bowling above 90mph in his 26th over🔥🔥🔥

[@bdcricket9410]

So 90 MPh is so slow for me 😉

[@Thirupi_podu]

90 mph=It must be more than 145 kph

[@bdcricket9410]

@@Thirupi_podu I was joking I am fast bowling all rounder .

[@sujoyda9518]

Aktar and lee : hold my beer 😄😄😄😄

[@davidm1277]

What a joke haha archer is an absolute minnow compared to people like thomson, shoaib and lee. The minute it flattens out he is useless, he got absolutely dealt to in New Zealand

[@ABBU577]

5:27 what a headshot 🥵🔥😁👍🏼

[@bennnnn264]

thing that made this all the more fantastic to watch is the fact that they were teammates for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPl at the time so both will have known eachothers games quite well

[@ammarkardar6427]

The best part when archer says we would have got him out after his injury and then he comes in 4th test and scores 211 and says that i was for all day and they didn't get me out

[@vishnuchittanramesh4033]

Smith has never struggled this much. Archer is a hell of a bowler. If Archer was more consistent he would've been an absolute superstar by now.

[@nelsonthompson4547]

Are you aware of his documented injury setbacks? Because of this series because he was over bowled?

[@zak1814]

After 2005 ashes this is the best ashes hands down

[@aryanshrivastav4850]

4:02 now thats 155 kph guys.....

[@deeptitiwari288]

That is as close as it gets to a Phil Hughes repeat! Man, that edge of the grill barely saved the man from a fatal blow. No wonder, England, didn't use Archer more, once he returned.

[@gtanj]

Anderson vs. Smith should have been interesting. Anderson has given a nightmare to all top right handed batsmen for a long time in English conditions.

[@your_dad_18]

Anderson was one of the finest bowlers of a time. He made inform virat's eng tour a nightmare too. He can win test matches alone

[@evangelinea9195]

In only England conditions

[@GauravYadav-bf7qj]

Smith has dominated Anderson in England as well but Anderson has just got better with age, he was injured in 2015 as well, for few matches

[@rajatdash9198]

I just have one wish before death, i.e- "watch atleast one day of ashes at lords or at MCG"

[@abhijeetrajpoot529]

Love u steve Smith 💞 no 1 test player😄
