'Worst Surface I’ve Seen': Jofra Archer On Chennai Pitch

In England's win against India in the first Test at Chennai, Jofra Archer played a crucial role in not only picking wickets but creating pressure from one end for the other bowlers to do the damag

“On the fifth day it was probably the worst surface I’ve seen — its orange color, bits missing, rough patches for the bowlers to aim at,” he said.

“I’d not played first-class cricket here (in India) before last week, but I know from experience of the IPL that most wickets in India deteriorate significantly, and seeing how the pitch changed during this Test shows us what we have in store,” Archer wrote in his column for Daily Mail.

Jofra Archer troubled R Ashwin on day 5 with a barrage of bouncers on the Indian off-spinner. He said that it wasn't a team plan but he wanted to do something different to 'unsettle' Ashwin. 

England leads the four test match series 1-0. The second test between India and England will begin from 13th February, Saturday in Chennai.
