Jofra Archer's prophetic tweets from 2013 resurface after World Cup 2019 win; Twitter is amazed
Jofra Archer's tweets from years ago have resurfaced on Twitter, and they tell the story of how England won their first World Cup after wins over Australia and New Zealand in the semis and finals, respectively!
Jofra Archer seems to have psychic powers, if his old tweets are anything to go by! Right from the semis against Australia, there has been an old tweet for every occasion from Archer, which has left Twitter amazed with his predicting skills.
Back in 2014, he tweeted about his urge to play at Lord's. Back then, the bowler was playing U-19 cricket for West Indies, and it it remains every players' dream to play at the Mecca of cricket. His wish was fulfilled as England played their first ever final at Lord's on Sunday, and moreover, ended with the Cup as well.
Another tweet had been posted by Archer in 2014, which was "Finch goes."
In the semis, he ended up dismissing the Australian captain for a duck to start proceedings.
Again, an incident from the semis. Jason Roy was wrongly dismissed by Kumar Dharmasena, even as the ball brushed his shoulders to the wicket-keeper behind.
While bowling against the Ashes rivals, Archer delivered a deadly ball to Aussie Alex Carey that flew into the batsman's helmet and hurt Carey on the chin.
That hit he helmet soo hard
England eventually won the semis easily as they crushed Australia with 8 wickets and 18 overs to spare. Archer had a tweet or that as well, this time from 2016!
Even in the finals, his tweets from the past were in the news, as it told the story of how the side won the World Cup.
Rightly so, in a cliff-hanger, England, after giving a few "heart attacks" went on to win the Cup against New Zealand. Archer needed to defend 16 off the Super Over, as his tweets had mentioned. He gave away 15 runs, which tied the Super Over as well but England won due to more boundaries in their innings. However, it left the Kiwis distraught, as the "nice guys finished second."
Archer, had been picked for England just a month before the World Cup was to begin, "fitting right in that English attack".
