Quotes from Jofra Archer

Body management is going to be essential if I want to play most of the matches.

I just wanted to play in the IPL; the money is just a bonus.

It doesn't bother me what people are saying. Social media is there for people to voice their criticism, so you shouldn't take that to heart.

I'm just being honest, if I get one wicket or three, the way I bowl doesn't change.

Cricket is also a bit more of a social game. You are never too far away from one of your other team-mates, so you can always wander over for a bit of a chat. For example, if I am at mid-off, I could always wander over to mid-on and have a joke with Stuart Broad.

In the IPL the batters have to come at you, whereas in Test cricket they can sit on you for a full session if they want and if the pitch is dead there is nothing you can do about it.

Obviously in T20, variations are important whereas bowling lots of slower balls in a Test isn't going to help anyone.

It is impossible to run in the whole day bowling at 90mph. If you can show me someone who does it then fair play. But I've not seen any bowler who bowls 90mph do it for a whole day.
