How good is this Archer boy??

Developing well. Has a good bouncer and has the knack of getting wickets. Probably has another couple of yards to come as he matures.

Can bat well also, and in the Sussex line up is certainly better than a No.9.

in a few years I see him as a good all rounder and playing at international level

Joffra Archer is contracted to Sussex until the end of the 2019 season

A real x factor player who could become a world star

There's still a qualifying period though, Pietersen has a British passport but still had to wait, but it's shorter for British citizens (don't know how long).

There was an interview with him that I found where he said that his intention was to qualify for England and he's good mates with CJ so can't see him moving in a hurry.
