People fret a lot here.
Fact is lot of us didn't know about Archer until he represent England. He like many other players in WI are sideline because of too much ineptness of some sort in WI selection process.
In my books he is doing what fair and took a lot of guts to get it done.

Is Archer a hero or a traitor?
In reply to tigga
Unless Archer had ambitions of becoming a T20 mercenary, he made the right decision to run from the dysfunctional CWI.
Jofra is Jofra...people may choose to call him whatever.
Just allow the guy to make choices that will uplift him, and make his life more rewarding.
Must say if Hengland wins this I will just watch his celebration only and pretend it is all a WI celebration .
In reply to tigga
Jofra isn't any different than most guys on here who no longer live or work in Caribbean. Leave the man to be!

They are all a bunch of hypocrites!
In reply to tigga
A hero I'd say.
Because of him there will be a West Indian playing in the WC2019 Final game.
Cant't say the same about dem Indians.

Lovely lovely article!
Let the haterz hate!
In reply to tigga
As far as I am aware.....he is the only West Indian in the WC final
He has made the region proud....and I hope he represents the region well tomorrow
Wondies are home and the three Lions are in the final, excellent decision that.
It is nice to see a lot of people share the same sentiments. Seems unfair to treat the him as man scorned.
In reply to jen
let the history book decide..it's not as simple as you put it.
In reply to Raggs
It is simple as I put it I believe. People only create complex things.
Hero; would have been wasted in WI; his rapid development is a direct reflection of good coaching, proper infrastructure and team management etc. Similar windies players are struggling for everything that Jofra is benefiting from.
He is English
He is British
Any feeling that a West Indian is in the final is just sad
In reply to tigga

What about Lord Harris, Pelham Warner, Devon Malcolm, Phil DeFreitas, Wilf Slack, Gladstone Small, Chris Lewis, Chris Jordan and Roland Butcher?
We lucky Greenidge decided to play for us.
Jofra Archer is another of the many post colonial products who glorify England and would kiss the dust the Englishman walks on. He says he decided to play for England after being dropped once from Windies junior team. Well ... I dont know of any other player who wasnt dropped sometime or the other in their careers & went on to represent the Regional senior team thereafter.

WTF dude? daz some real assholery u jes chat dey.
In reply to tigga
The People fretting are a few....
and the occasional wagonist.
I am happy for Jofra...
and I like NZ...wanted NZ to win....UNTIL ....
Stinking Broad is not in the English Line up so I can actually ( choke) support them...
Consider this... for our WORLD beaters to have done as well as they have under the jokers and WIN a few tournaments is actually a better testimonial than Jofras
In reply to davo
yea...ahm... Imusic dealt with you ahready...
clearly you didnt get enough breast milk and was abused as a child...
In reply to powen001
Nuff of uall cant see further than the next plate of breadfruit. Theres a good reason why the places uall were raised are called LDC territories.
Traitor
In reply to davo
U raise up in murica?
What a skunt!!!
it is amazing the emotion that Archer causes in this forum. The region has lost far more important persons than him who could have made a real contribution: doctors, engineers, teachers etc. Let the boy be and if he does well, let us celebrate as we would with any international sportsman when, after putting in the hard work, they do things that we can only sit on our couches and dream about doing ourselves.
