London, Aug 12: England pacer Jofra Archer sent a warning to Australia that they would be mistaken if they are thinking that they can get a lot of runs out of him. Archer is expected to make his Test debut in the second Ashes Test at Lord's after England's strike pacer James Anderson was ruled out of the rest of the series after the first match.
"Well, I've played a lot more red-ball (overall) than I have white-ball," said Archer. "I do think it's my preferred format anyway. Red ball isn't really shown on TV so a lot of people won't know. Looking at the scorecard, it doesn't really tell the full story of how a game panned out anyway. It was actually the first format I played in when I started at Sussex."
While Archer grabbed the attention of the larger global cricketing audience with his exploits in the Indian Premier League before storming into the international cricket scene with his stellar performance in England's succesfull 2019 World Cup campaign, he has 131 wickets in 28 First Class matches and scored over 1000 runs in the longer formats. In a Second Eleven Championship game for Sussex that was played in the days after the first Ashes Test in Birmingham, Archer scored a hundred and recorded figures of 6/27.
