Archer's Stunning Performance at Lord's

During the fifth day of the third Test at Lord's, England's fast bowler Jofra Archer created a stir on social media after he bowled out Washington Sundar for a duck in just four deliveries.


As soon as Sundar was dismissed, the official England Cricket account tweeted, "Four balls," referencing an old tweet from Archer dating back to 2015, which humorously asked, "How long does it take to get to Washington?"



Fans quickly joined in on the fun, pointing out how Archer's nine-year-old tweet seemed to predict this very moment. The quick dismissal of Sundar in just four balls turned into a memorable cricket meme.


Details of the Dismissal


Archer bowled with impressive speed and aggression, delivering the ball at 140 kph. Sundar, attempting to play the shot, closed the bat face too early, causing the ball to pop up. Archer reacted swiftly, diving to his right to make a spectacular catch just above the ground, sending Sundar back to the pavilion without scoring.


India was already facing pressure, and this wicket only intensified their struggles. However, the incident gained additional attention due to Archer's tweet resurfacing, a phenomenon that seems to follow the England bowler.
