Once in a blue moon, English cricket has a golden summer. It happened in 1981 and 2005, and it is happening again in 2019. A heart-stopping World Cup final has been followed by an Ashes series of high drama. Ben Stokes, England's dynamic all-rounder, keeps grabbing the headlines, but the fans already knew about him. The true revelation has been a young fast bowler who spends his free time playing the online video game Fortnite. Making his Test debut at Lord's in midAugust, Jofra Archer was fearsome. His speed touched 96mph, which gave the batsmen facing him less than half a second to react. Steve Smith, Australia's best batsman, had won the first Test almost on his own, but he couldn't handle Archer's pace. One delivery turned Smith's forearm purple; another thudded into his neck. The crowd at Lord's didn't know whether to be electrified or sickened. Smith, who had opted not to wear a neck guard, sank to the ground, retired hurt, came back to bat, looked disorientated, missed a straight ball and departed, for once, without a century.
