[Cricket] 1st ODI South Africa v England

[Pavilionaire]

Archer out for 3 months at least with a stress fracture to his elbow, had a scan prior to the tests which showed nothing, sent back home for a more sophisticated scan and they found a stress fracture.

Means he will miss the entire Sri Lanka tour and his big bucks IPL contract. Shocking management from England, totally unacceptable how much cricket he played in such a short space of time, needs must you could argue but a fair few of us said at the time, he’s being over bowled and over worked, turns out it was correct.

Agreed, but at least Mark Wood will be available to prove the pace option.
