England have one of the best teams in the World Cup. They started off their campaign with a big win over South Africa. Jofra Archer played a key role in the game with his superb bowling. His teammate, Moeen Ali has termed him as the “fastest bowler” he has faced.
“Jofra is amazing. He just makes good batters do different things, that pace he has is incredible. He is the fastest I have ever faced. It is unbelievable. He gives us that something else, he can win you games even if he goes for a few runs,” said Moeen Ali. “Knowing you have him in your side makes a big difference.”
Moeen also reflected on the big win over South Africa in the tournament opener at Oval. “I felt, losing the toss and with it being a 10.30 start, that there was a lot of pressure. More than we have ever faced. We would have liked to have chased,” he said. “To bat like that showed we really adapted to the wicket and it was great, I thought the guys did really well on what was a tough wicket.
“Everyone was a bit nervous. I was on the balcony watching and I think the pressure with being the home side and the No.1 side in the world was always going to be on. The guys played really well, it was a massive win for us,”
