i watched as steve smith and then Labuschagne were felled by balls delivered by archer.
now i have watched cricket most of my life and seen many fast bowlers considered 'lethal' but this guy is the first i feel has earned that title.
to see someone like smith taken out like that (no one would say he doesnt know how to bat) then a second batsman also struck in the head is awful no matter who they play for.
can a bowler be stopped if its believed he could kill someone?
i cant believe the praise this guy is recieving, did we learn nothing from phil hughes death?
when these 2 players went down there was much concern for they welfare but as soon as they were 'not dead' it was back to normal!
and should the worst happen and archer does kill someone how will he live with that?
