Archer collected his best ODI bowling figures of 6/40 in just his second international appearance back from long-term injury, while Jos Buttler smashed his 11th ODI century as England registered a 59-run victory over South Africa in Kimberley
Despite having won the three-match series, South Africa's 59-run defeat in the third and final ODI against England at the Diamond Oval, Kimberley on Wednesday has them delicately placed in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, wherein they currently occupy the ninth position.
Archer collected his best ODI bowling figures of 6/40 in just his second international appearance back from long-term injury, while Buttler smashed his 11th ODI century as England registered a 59-run victory over South Africa in Kimberley.
It was South Africa's quicks that did the damage on England's strong batting line-up, with Anrich Nortje (4/62), Sisanda Magala (3/46) and Kagiso Rabada (2/46) claiming nine wickets between them in a polished display of fast bowling.
South African under-19 sensation Dewald Brevis, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, England's Eoin Morgan, Aiden Markram, Rashid Khan, Quinton de Kock are some of the names which impressed in the first week
Pacer Jofra Archer returned to England's national side as a 14-player squad for the three-match ODI series against South Africa starting in January was named in December last year.
Archer took to Twitter to share a post showcasing how he battled injuries to make a comeback to cricket field last year, during a warm-up match between England and England A side last year in November ahead of the Pakistan tour
In 57 Tests that he has played since his debut in 2014, Buttler has scored 2,907 runs, with two centuries and 18 fifties. In his most recent Test appearance during the Ashes against Australia, Buttler could score only 11 runs across both innings of the fourth Test
Despite cricket's entire stratosphere being virtually his oyster, Brevis remains humble and values the prospect of being able to tap into the intellectual capacity of senior internationals such as Rassie van der Dussen, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Jofra Archer and Rashid Khan.
