'The hardest part has been playing cricket for the last year and a half and still having my training wheels on. I am a bit speechless as to how things are coming along. I can play the other two Tests if they let me — I don't want to lose this series.'
The England speedster has also set his eyes on the Ashes.
'I told Keysey (Rob Key, the England managing director) that I wanted to play the Test summer and I wanted to play the Ashes,' Archer said.

'I think one tick is already there, and I will do everything in my power to be on the plane in November."

"I guess I was a little bit emotional (after England's win). It was a long journey. I can't tell you the number of keyboard warriors there have been over the last three or four years," Archer told Sky Sports after playing a pivotal role in helping England take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
"It (the comeback) was a long time coming — a lot of rehab, a lot of training — but it's moments like this that make it all worth it. The whole crowd gave me a huge lift," he added.

"Onlyfans leaks would be fire": Joy Taylor gets axed by Fox Sports and fans already know her future career move
Fox Sports cuts ties with Joy Taylor (Instagram) In a stunning development that's shaking up FS1's on-air lineup, Joy Taylor has officially parted ways with Fox Sports. The move comes as the network embarks on a widespread reshuffle, axing multiple shows—including Speak, which Taylor co-hosted. Her exit also closely follows a months-long legal controversy involving allegations made against a former Fox Sports executive and Taylor's name surfacing in the lawsuit. While Taylor's departure was reportedly tied to the expiration of her contract, the timing has raised eyebrows across the industry. A sudden exit amid legal turmoil and programming shakeup Taylor had been a key presence on Speak since 2022, sharing the desk with former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and ex-NBA player Paul Pierce. But the show, along with Breakfast Ball and The Facility, is now being scrapped as part of Fox Sports' latest cost-cutting and content realignment strategy. The Athletic first broke the news, revealing Taylor's contract would not be renewed. The exit comes just months after serious allegations from a former Fox Sports hairstylist, Noushin Faraji, rocked the network. Faraji accused then-Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon of groping her during a party held for Taylor in 2017. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In a troubling twist, Faraji also claimed Taylor dismissed her accusation and was allegedly involved in an extramarital affair with Dixon—an affair Faraji claimed contributed to Taylor's rise to her former Undisputed moderator role. Additionally, Taylor was accused of mocking Faraji's accent and her PTSD-related behaviors. Taylor firmly rejected the claims, with a spokeswoman stating, 'The claims set forth against Ms. Taylor are devoid of merit and appear to have been strategically framed to create unwarranted publicity rather than to seek legitimate redress.' Despite the public stir, Taylor kept her composure, opting for measured statements. 'I know that the public has a lot of interest in this situation,' she told The Cut. 'But I have to let the legal process play out. ' After a brief two-week absence from air earlier this year, Taylor returned, fueling speculation about internal deliberations over her contract. A report from Front Office Sports had earlier mentioned her deal was due to expire this summer, which now appears to have marked her quiet exit. Fans think her next career is already known The Internet is going crazy after her exit. Users have come up with different thoughts but a major portion of them already let others know what they think of about her future career. One user @coldcallsniper commented, "Incoming OF." A second one having username @Jerryjo58719446 added, "Joy taylor onlyfans leaks would be fire." Another named @0usports echoed the same by saying, "She can take her career to onlyfans now." Joy Taylor becomes the center of internet discussion (Image via X) In recent months, Taylor had become more outspoken beyond sports commentary. On her Two Personal Show, she made headlines by suggesting the legalization of sex work as a remedy for male loneliness. On The Truth After Dark podcast, she remarked that religious men were a dating red flag for her—despite identifying as a 'person of faith' herself. These bold views have both intrigued and polarized her fan base, marking a noticeable shift in her public persona. As Fox Sports closes a chapter, the media landscape is now watching to see where Joy Taylor lands next—and whether the controversies surrounding her will fade or follow her forward.

NHL blasted for 'disrespecting' Florida Panthers with early puck drop and weak opponent on 2026 Opening Night
NHL's 2026 season schedule is facing backlash from hockey fans (Getty Images) The newly announced 2026 NHL season schedule has angered hockey fans, primarily over the Florida Panthers' opening game. Many are frustrated by the champions' early start time and their matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, feeling it reduces the two-time Stanley Cup winners. Concerns also abide regarding broadcast accessibility for games. Outrage erupts as NHL prioritizes Blackhawks over champs for prime-time spotlight Significant frustration has ignited among the devoted hockey fans due to the initial release of the NHL's 2026 season schedule. Much of the ire centers on the opening night plans, especially concerning the reigning champions, the Florida Panthers. Forward Matthew Tkachuk previously articulated his ambitions, phrasing, 'Hopefully another best year ever,' and adding, 'I don't know. I think I want to get used to this, this whole winning thing. So, I guess it starts with coming out at the start of the year again.' Yet, the league's choices for their October 7th opener have caused prevalent discontent. Fans slam early puck drop and weak opponent choice The decision to schedule the Panthers' banner-raising event and their game against the Chicago Blackhawks in an early 5 PM ET slot, rather than a prime-time slot, has drawn tremendous criticism. One upset fan @RyanWinsBets commented, 'How is the FLA vs CHI game not the prime time game?

Should be Florida vs Oilers on opening night, that would be something.' Fans slams the NHL (SS via Twitter) Broadcast accessibility concerns continue to haunt NHL fans Adding to these resentments are persistent worries about broadcast access, highlighted by a fan's concerned query: 'Stanley Cup champs get a 5 p.m. start time, and I'm guessing the NHL will make it hard to watch unless you have the right subscription?' This echoes prior criticisms regarding the league's complicated subscription landscape, with the Winged Wheel Podcast's Ryan Hana mourning, 'Best sport in the world and nobody can watch.'

Josh Allen accused of using marriage to Hailee Steinfeld as leverage in bold demand to Bills front office
Josh Allen, fresh from his wedding, faces immense pressure to overcome his playoff struggles against Patrick Mahomes (Image via Beau Society) The pressure is mounting in Buffalo, and no one feels it more than Josh Allen. Fresh off his high-profile wedding to actress Hailee Steinfeld, the reigning NFL MVP is entering the 2025 season with sky-high expectations—and he's reportedly making bold demands behind the scenes. Josh Allen 's postseason curse against Patrick Mahomes is haunting his legacy According to multiple reports, Josh Allen has made a 'strong request' to the Buffalo Bills front office in hopes of elevating the team's offense ahead of what could be a make-or-break Super Bowl run. While the exact nature of the request remains under wraps, insiders point to Allen's urgent desire for more reliable receiving talent after back-to-back playoff heartbreaks. — jasrifootball (@jasrifootball) Allen's 0-4 playoff record against Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is becoming a defining obstacle. Despite Allen's brilliance under center, Mahomes has repeatedly shut the door on Buffalo's championship hopes. The Bills have come close, but the narrative is clear: until Allen conquers Mahomes, the Super Bowl remains out of reach. This season, however, could be different. Mahomes and the Chiefs have a less certain offensive outlook, and the AFC feels more open than in years past. Allen, entering his prime, knows time is ticking—and fans are seeing a more vocal and determined leader off the field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo With Stefon Diggs gone, Josh Allen may push for new weapons—like Jauan Jennings Last year, Allen lost top receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, yet still managed to lead an offense that ranked second in the NFL with 30.9 points per game. Heading into 2025, second-year receiver Keon Coleman is projected to be the top target—but that may not be enough. Rumors are swirling around San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings, who is reportedly unhappy with his current deal and open to a trade. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes Jennings wants an extension, and if the 49ers don't deliver, 'he'd like to be traded.' Jennings recorded 975 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games last season—a breakout campaign. But acquiring Jennings won't be easy. The Bills are tight on cap space, and Jennings' projected extension—two years, $20 million—could complicate any move.

Whether it's chasing rings or adjusting to life post-wedding, one thing is certain: Josh Allen is all-in on turning this season into the one that finally silences the doubters.
