00:00Joffer Archer is back, how excited are you by that prospect?

00:04Yeah, really exciting. I think it's great for English fans, but also for Joff.

00:12It's been a long time coming for him. I think the way in which he's handled the injury setbacks over that period has been very commendable.

00:26The way in which he's got himself back onto the field and playing cricket over a long period of time now.

00:34It was exciting to have him back into the squad and in contention for last week, but now that we can say he's in the playing XI.

00:41Very exciting for the group, but also I think a pretty great day.

00:46I think Joff's going to be pretty proud of himself that he's managed to get himself back here after two pretty big injury scares.

00:53Whenever he does get the ball in his hand, there is that change in the game.

00:58I think the opposition feel it as well, because they know what he can do in a spell.

01:03So yeah, I don't think there's any reason as to why we can't see Joffer Archer operating at a level like we've seen here on Laws in his debut.

01:11Yeah, I probably hope that it's a game that's a big game for me to be back in the game and see what I know in the game at the楽しみ.
