The complete waste of space - as I've been telling my TV; computer and my poor wife - is Archer.
He's Black, he's fast - but doesn't get wickets and if he scores one run as a batman it's rare indeed.

I've no idea!
I hope not.
I'd horsewhip him on the steps of the pavilion.

They suspended him for seven years back in 2002. Very much still your clubmate.

October 2002
Jeffrey Archer has been suspended as a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club for seven years.
Although the multi-millionaire novelist and former Tory Party chairman escaped expulsion, he will be almost 70 by the time he is allowed back into the MCC.
Archer, serving a four-year jail sentence, is believed to be the first member in modern times to be thrown out of the world's most famous cricket club for criminal behaviour.
The disgraced peer, convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice, is aware of his suspension and is said by friends to be "deeply disappointed". Lady Archer is also upset at the ruling.
Chris Beetles, a close friend of Archer and an MCC member, said: "This is a vindictive judgment on a man who has been good for cricket and loves his cricket. It is highly unlikely to represent the views of the majority of cricket-loving MCC members."

I honestly have no idea if he came crawling back.
I haven't seen him around the Long Room

We've turned this Test around.
114 run ahead with 7 wickets in hand and all day tomorrow to bowl 'em out.

at least they made it to the end of the day, for a time it looked very doubtful.

We could just possibly win this.
But Archer will have to contribute something.
(apart, Baloo from trashy novels)
