There is much more to Andy Ruiz's new life as Mexico ['Worldfirstheavyweightchampionforwhichhe'readytodie'whenheAnthonyJoshusforthesecondfight Saudi Arabia on December 7.

Not that you would guess which item is most important to the man who turned Joshua and boxing on his head in New York three months ago

Of course he wants the straps of Joshua's chiseled waist to hold.

Andy Ruiz has started his training camp for his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight rematch

Of course he is proud of the Southern California mansion, the white Rolls Royce and the diamond-encrusted jewelry that now adorn his neck and wrists, all the fruits of that seventh round knockout in Madison Square Garden.

But when it comes down to it, Ruiz says: & # 39; One thing is certain, Anthony does not take the cheerios away from my children. & # 39;

There speaks the simple, honest, always smiling character that trained for the upset of this century until now in Snickers bars.

Ruiz adds: & # 39; It's also nice that I no longer have to worry about paying the rent, the electricity, gas and water bill or having trouble feeding my family . & # 39;

Joshua will try to win his heavyweight titles in Saudi Arabia Arabia reclaim on December 7

Bless him. Even Joshua can't help him like it and say, "I lose, but I am happy for him to live up to his life's ambition and bring hope to his people."

The respectful Ruiz says: & thanks. I do everything to help my people at the border. I spoke about that when the Mexican president invited me to Los Pinos, our White House. That was the best moment of all I've done since I won the title. & # 39;

But did he overdo it? All the party? He denies rumors that he is about to add £ 10 million in the desert to the £ 6 million he made in the Big Apple, has been dragged back to training or his appetite for the most difficult old man game has lost.

When he flew back to the US after the last media conference of a promotional tour with whistles in Riyadh, New York and London, he said: I enjoyed it, but hunger is still there. It is immediately back in the gym the day after we land. I absolutely don't want this to be just 15 minutes of fame. I have to keep these belts for my legacy. I don't want to disappoint my children, my family, my people, my country. & # 39;

The Mexican has started his training camp for his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight rematch

It turned out when Joshua touched one of the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts when they stepped on a stage in a hotel at Heathrow airport: & # 39; No, no. He let me hold the belt before we fought in New York, but sorry, I will not let him go. & # 39;

& # 39; The round appearance of Ruiz lies in the speed of hand and foot that he expects to overwhelm Joshua again.

& # 39; Has he stopped in New York? & # 39; Ruiz muses. & # 39; Well, let's just say I don't think he wanted to continue. Now that we come face to face again, I see in your eyes that he is more focused, but are there doubts in his mind? I do not know yet. We all have doubts, but I'm not afraid of boxing anyone.

& # 39; I respect Anthony as a boxer, as a man and for everything he has achieved. But his problem is that his style is perfect for me. He doesn't have the movement to get away from me and my combinations. & # 39;

Joshua works slimmer, less muscular to improve that element, but Ruiz also expects to be a little slimmer and even faster.

At which Ruiz smiles, as if he wants to say: & # 39; Many cheerios, Anthony. & # 39;

* Ruiz v Joshua is broadcast live from Saudi Arabia by Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday, December 7.

Nabil Fekir insists that his knee is fine after a move to Liverpool collapsed

The Frenchman was about to move to Anfield for £ 53m 12 months ago

A deal failed though amidst reports that Liverpool was unhappy with his medical

Fekir claims that his knee is perfectly fine And still doesn't know what happened

Nabil Fekir insisted that he move to Liverpool collapsed in the summer of 2018 due to a failed medical his & # 39; lies & # 39; and that his knee is & # 39; perfectly fine & # 39 ;.

It was generally reported that Lyon and Liverpool had agreed to a £ 53 million transfer fee for the Frenchman more than 12 months ago and he had even recorded a welcome interview with Liverpool TV before a deal collapsed dramatically.

It is believed that Liverpool tried to renegotiate the deal after a doctor in Paris had provoked concerns about his knee. Fekir suffered a serious knee injury in 2015-16, a ruptured cruciate ligament, although there have been no serious recurring problems since then.

Nabil Fekir claims that his move to Liverpool collapsed due to a failed medical his & # 39; lies & # 39;

Due to the and medical findings, Liverpool's interest in him cooled and he went to Real Betis in a shock £ 22m transfer earlier this summer.

However, in an interview with the Fra nse newspaper L & # 39; Equipe Fekir has now claimed that there was nothing wrong with his knee and maintains that he still has no idea why his move to Anfield failed

& # 39; lies were told and they influenced me, & # 39; he said. Especially about my family. It hurt them and me. Especially if you know it is told, it is incorrect.

& # 39; What has been said is not the truth. My knee is good – I had a quick medical checkup at Clairefontaine (the national training base of France) – my knee wasn't even mentioned. If my knee had been in such a poor condition, would lessons (Lyon President Jean-Michel) have made [a huge offer to keep me]?

& # 39; But the worst thing is that people can suggest that this is because of my family that the transfer did not happen. It is a lie. But you have to live with it. & # 39;

& # 39; Do you want the truth? Even I don't know – I promise you! I did my medical and then [Liverpool] decided not to sign. At one point they wanted me to believe it was because of my knee – but an excuse had to be found.

Liverpool agreed to £ 53 million transfer fee but Fekir was allowed to never play for the Reds

The Frenchman signed instead Real Betis got off to a good start

& # 39; The medical tests I did at Clairefontaine were very clear – my knee is perfect, fine and I feel fine. There are no problems with my knee at all. & # 39;

There was talk of the revival of European champions this summer, but Jurgen Klopp did not add any big names to his team and Betis shot at the game maker.

Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas indicated at the start of the window that Fekir would be leaving this summer.

Fekir had made it clear that he had no intention of signing a new contract with his deal with the Ligue 1 outfit in June 2020.

He also quickly got into life Spain established with two goals in its opening of three league games, including a goal at the Nou Camp and a winner against Leganes.

Formerly Ireland international Jonathan Walters claims Roy Keane & # 39 ; s recent comments show his true personality.

Keane reopened a word war with Walters, which he succeeded in Ipswich and Ireland, by mocking him for crying when he spoke of the death of his mother and other family tragedies

Speaking at Cadbury & # 39 ; s Off The Ball Roadshow Keane said: & he is talking a good game. Imagine that you have won a trophy. He cries on TV about his family situation.

Jonathan Walters hit back on recent comments from Roy Keane on YouTube show Liquid Football

Keane launched his destructive attack on Walters and other Irish players in a show last week

& # 39; Maybe he should lie low for a while, watch his medals? That wouldn't last long. "

Walters accused his former manager of being a bully and thinks his indifference towards Keane gets a response.

& # 39; The football side I can take, his medals and all that , it really doesn't bother me, & # 39; Walters said on JOE podcast and YouTube show Liquid Football.

& # 39; He doesn't touch me a bit and that bothers him the most, that I snub him That might touch him, I don't know.

& # 39; The other stuff is a bit close to the bone What he went into, the crying on TV, that's something I never had

& # 39; To go there, whether he meant it or not – he probably did – it didn't bother me, but it was just showing a side of him that I know.

& # 39; There are other things he said I can handle, but don't lie. I claim to be no tough guy, I stand up to bullies. & # 39;

Keane was the assistant to Martin O & # 39; Neill for the Republic of Ireland between 2013 and 2018

Striker Walters scored 14 goals in 54 games for the Republic of Ireland during eight years

Keane, ie he is currently out of the game, has built a reputation as a sour-tongue expert, recently criticizing his former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

But Walters, who revealed he almost had a physical fight with Keane back then in Ipswich, says his hard man is an act.

He added: & I don't know why people pay attention, why they worry.

& # 39; Yes, he was an incredible player, he was known as a tough man on the field or a tough guy.

& # 39; Only because someone has a sharp tongue or cataract does he or she not make a tough guy.

& # 39; My brother-in-law was a naval command, went to war. He's a tough guy.

& # 39; I was never afraid of (Keane) as a player. & # 39;

If you want to get an indication of the type of person Sergio Ramos then the story of how he met met

Pilar Rubio, his nine-year-old husband, is an exceptionally famous TV personality in Spain . Ramos, clearly a fan even before he met her, dreamed about her for three consecutive nights and after consulting the women in his family, he decided to send her a message.

It worked. Most of what Ramos does seems to be.

Sergio Ramos spoke with Sportsmail while he was the first episode of his Amazon series revealed

Ramos is a serial winner and took the Champions League three seasons in a row

His documentary deals with his dynamics with his partner Pilar Rubio, who is also famous in Spain

He is here in central London to promote his new documentary series about Amazon Prime, El Corazon / by Sergio Ramos (The Heart of Sergio Ramos). Ramos is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, or in this case, etched on the chest of the £ 640 Prada shirt he wears.

There are two ways to judge the player. This is the man who holds the record for most tickets in the Champions League and La Liga. Ramos is also the first captain to cancel the Champions League three times in succession and has won every trophy he fought for.

It is difficult to square the calm man in this room at the Soho Hotel with the player who sometimes seems to need his own personal referee, but he slips into a tackle or the DM's of # 39; s his future wife and he insists he is the same person: & i like to play in everything i do in my life, from the moment i wake up till i go to bed. Every game, even with my children. I like to win, that's how I am. & # 39;

Ramos was well aware of the irony of the documentary about a tough campaign for Real

Real had a tough season, with the team finishing third in the La Liga table in May

But Ramos is standing at a low point in his recent Club career. He didn't win. Real had a chaotic season last time. They went through three managers, finished third in La Liga and were beaten out of the Champions League by Ajax.

He is convinced that he will not continue this campaign: & Of course after a long series of victories, there is a turning point.

& # 39; Yes, we have stopped winning. But there is no part of the team that is tired of winning. It is just something that has happened and we need to reset and restart. We have new people in our team.

& We will always fight to win. You are forced to win every year. We have to get rid of a bad season and we are more hungry to win and more hungry for competition.

Ramos is convinced that Real will be a better side this season will be the previous campaign

& # 39; I think this will be a good year and we have to do things right from the start. & # 39;

A player who can be the key to a turnaround is Gareth Bale. Bale spent most of his summer with one foot out the door and is supposedly disconnected from the rest of his team, named & # 39; The Golfer & # 39; and still can't speak Spanish.

Bale started the season in excellent shape, scored twice in Real & # 39; s last game. And Ramos has his own opinion about his teammate: & I think Bale is a great player and he has been very important to the club in the years he was with us. You will find many things in the press. Some are true, some are not. We live in this world and we must try to be above all that.

& # 39; Regarding what has been said about Gareth, I think time puts everything in its place. Regardless of what each player does in his personal life, I think he should be respected and not even talk about it. We are free to do what we want with our free time.

The central defender is convinced that Gareth Bale will be an asset to Real Madrid

Of course, professionally, you owe yourself to a team, to a club, and try to be as honest as possible. Afterwards, it is up to everyone to go home with a clear conscience or not. & # 39;

Part of the plan to upgrade Real again is the return of Zinedine Zidane, the manager who won them to those three Champions League wins.

Ramos has seen enough to think that he still has the magic touch: & He remains the same person. He preserves his essence as a manager. He has more experience.

& # 39; I would essentially summarize that he is the same person, but better because he has more experience. & # 39;

Ramos is convinced that Zinedine Zidane still has the magic as manager after return

Amazon's documentary on Ramos begins with bruises defeats and there is a sense of irony about the cameras that miss the trophy-laden three years earlier.

Ramos, however, has no trouble and would like to show the hard part of playing football: & # 39; You never know when the best time is to film a documentary. Yes, if I had known I might have started filming three years ago.

& # 39; I think it is good to see the suffering and pain behind playing football and also the effort and sacrifice that comes with this kind of career.

& # 39; I think they will see a side of me that can be more moving, they can feel more purity and it can be more fun than if it was just a successful component. & # 39;

Ramos wants to come across a new side of him in the documentary when it is released

Although Ramos is keen that a new side of him encounters the documentary, he is not trying to convince those who do not like him as a player that they are wrong. Asked about changing thoughts, he replied: & absolutely not.

& # 39; One of the reasons I agreed with this is to leave some kind of legacy behind, maybe it's a child who has a dream in life – not necessarily being a footballer – and also for the people who love me , for my fans, to give them a different version of myself, so that they can see my passion, my family, that side of my life. It is a way to thank them.

& # 39; And for the people who are critical of what I do, this may give them more information to make a good judgment. & # 39;

No matter which side of the fence you are on, it is undeniable that Ramos is heart and soul. At the very least, is part of his shirt.

Chelsea Striker Tammy has revealed that her mother was reduced to tears by racist abuse he received in the aftermath of the UEFA Super Cup final.

Abraham missed the decisive kick in a penalty shootout that gave Liverpool glory last month in Istanbul and the 21-year-old was subjected to despicable abuse on social media

& # 39; I remember that I spoke to my mother, she was emotional, she was in tears, & # 39; said Abraham in an interview with CNN.

Tammy Abraham was the target of racist abuse in the aftermath of the UEFA Super Cup Final

& # 39; She was just thinking, & # 39; Why he & # 39 ;. It is clearly not nice to see your son abused.

Abraham was destroyed by the penalty miss, which cost his party a trophy, but it didn't take long for it to get much worse.

& # 39; I was sitting straight in the dressing room after the game and went on my phone, & he added.

Tammy Abraham missed the decisive penalty in the Super Cup defeat against Liverpool

& # 39; I wasn I am not avoiding the situation, although I say I had some support messages. The other side is not nice to hear. The first time I heard that I was in the dressing room.

& # 39; I experienced a lot of emotion, I would say after the penalty miss.

& # 39; I had experience last year with taking penalties, big ones too. Everyone misses penalties. To miss the punishment I was broken and then I had a lot of abuse.

& # 39; (Manager) Frank Lampard always had his arm around my shoulder to lift me, including the boys, it was as if I never missed the way they supported me and lifted me up and that is exactly what i needed. & # 39;

James – who has scored three goals in four games for United since his summer switch of Swansea – curled home an excellent 17th minute winner of 18 yards.

Ryan Giggs described Daniel James as unstoppable after he scored in the Wales victory over Belarus

Giggs made five changes to the game but was completely smiling in full time after another victory

He (James) is one of those players, you know what he is going to do, but Wales manager Giggs said:

There are so many goals (he scores).

& # 39; Early on when I saw DJ, like every young offside player, there can be that improvement in the final ball and make more goals.

& # 39; But he does that. So what is being done at the start of the season is amazing.

& # 39; The next step is clearly that consistency that he has shown so far and that he must continue. But I have no doubt that this will happen because he wants to be the best. & # 39;

Giggs made five changes from the side that Azerbaijan had defeated 2-1 in qualifying for Euro 2020 on Friday.

& # 39; But we must focus on ourselves.

& # 39; It was a good week of training and I will look closely at a few players who could make the team for the next game.

& # 39; I hope everyone stays healthy, and the key for me is that my players get games.

& # 39; The only thing I ask is that they play – if I am greedy, I play in the positions I want to play. That is the ideal situation for an international manager.

& # 39; But I am pleased with the way the two games were played. & # 39;

Belarusian manager Mikhail Markhel admitted that rookie defender Nikolay Zolotov may have seen red

Zolotov was booked early and was guilty of several rough challenges, including a bad tackle on Harry Wilson in the second half.

& # 39; It was his debut and he played reasonably well, & # 39; said Markhel.

& # 39; But like any player who plays for the national team for the first time, he was somewhat stressed and enthusiastic.

& # 39; The best team in the world & # 39 ;: Kosovo coach Bernard Challandes praises England for qualifying

England tops their Euro 2020 qualifying group after three victories of three

It is surprise package Kosovo that leads them in second place

Kosovo has not been lost in almost two years – a series of 15 games – the best in Europe

Kosovo Head Coach Bernard Challandes wants his players to dream of renewing their unbeaten run to 16 games by shocking England on Tuesday night at St Mary & # 39; s – although he regards the Three Lions as currently the best team in the world.

England tops their Euro 2020 qualifying group after three wins of three, but it is Kosovo surprise package that leads them in second place while the two countries prepare for their very first encounter.

Only accepted as a member of UEFA and FIFA in 2016, Kosovo has not been lost in almost two years – a series of 15 games.

Bernard Challandes wants his players to dream of renewing his undefeated run

England will undoubtedly prove their biggest test to date, but Challenges wants his party to believe they can leave Southampton with a result.

& # 39; We are Kosovo and we are here against one of the best teams in the world, in my opinion – the best team in the world, & he said.

& # 39; I think it is in my philosophy that if we do not dream it is not necessary to play such games, we have to dream and do everything possible to disturb England

& I will see it tomorrow because we are young with Kosovo, we are a young federation, never have we played against such a & # 39; s opponent.

& # 39; For me as a coach it is not easy to have a good mix for the evaluation of this game.

& # 39; When I say & # 39; we come to win & # 39 ;, I think many people think that's pretentious; if I say & # 39; it is not possible to win against England & # 39 ;, I have to change jobs.

Challandes explained to his reporters his game plan for Tuesday's game

& # 39; After four games, we never thought we were playing for first place here in England.

& # 39; It is clear to me that it will be a very, very difficult game, but it is a possibility for our very young team to show what a very, very high is

Challandes, Swiss coach and self-proclaimed fan of Manchester City, grants Kosovo a number of top players when they line up against England, but does not intend to just try to defend.

Asked about the form of Harry Kane – who struck a hat-trick in England's victory over Bulgaria on Saturday ay – Challandes said: & # 39; Harry Kane and (Raheem) Sterling and (Marcus) Rashford and, and, and, and, and …!

& # 39; For me it's a great team, but I only have this in my head – I don't want to say to my team: & OK, we'll stay in our own half and defend, defend, defend & # 39; – I hope we can play and be an opponent, not a big opponent, but an opponent with intensity. "

While England achieved nine points of nine with a total score of 14-1, Challandes does not think that Gareth Southgate and his party will underestimate Kosovo.

& # 39; I don & # 39; I don't think so, & # 39; he added.

& # 39; Because the mentality of the English team, especially here, does everything for Kosovo or Brazil – they bring the same thing , I never thought England would take Kosovo as a small team and they can play on only one leg.

& # 39; It would be good if some players from England were thinking about next week and the championship and the Champions League remain a bit quiet, it would be good, but I don't know. & # 39;

Steve Clarke recognizes the hope of automatic qualification for the Euro 2020

Steve Clarke admits that Scotland hopes for automatic qualifications for Euro 2020 to be & # 39; about

Nine points behind in second place with four games to play a point for Russia in Moscow next month will make the task of qualifying mathematically impossible.

Clarke turned to third place next year in preparation for the safety net of play-offs of the Nations League and admitted: "The group is over in terms of qualification. What we have to do now, and we talked about it after the game's goal is third position.

& # 39; It doesn't look very good where we are now There are 12 points to grab between now and the end of this qualifying campaign and we need to make sure that we finish third in the group.

& # 39; It's good for us in terms of ranking and seedings and also if you finish third in the group this means that we have performed well and have won a few games and have accumulated points, which should give us confidence to go to the play-off games in March to go. "After the daunting journey of the next month to Russia comes a home match against San Marino in Hampden.

With apathy growing around the national team, the immediate task is to restore some faith and confidence to the playoffs.

"I have to build anyway," Clarke added. I am four games in my tenure. I do not like to lose games, I do not like to lose games heavily, so we must try to tackle that in the next four games.

& # 39; It's not always about building. I am not going to experiment in the following four games. I don't have to experiment, I have to work with the players at my disposal and I have to make ourselves better and more defensible.

& # 39; First of all, you have to tackle the result – 4- 0 is not a good score.

"From three sets we came to rest at 3-0 after having played good football in the first half.

" Even at 1 -0, we didn't buckle. We stayed strong in the game, trying to continue the press and move the ball.

& # 39; But it is very difficult to try to sell positives if you lose 4-0 at home. & # 39; "Now we have to make sure that we improve defensively, because we have to defend one against Cyprus, three in Belgium, two at home in Russia and another four tonight. We must continue to work on the path that leads us to the Euro 2020 qualification That will be the play-off route and we have to embrace that. "The perseverance of Scotland is heading in the right direction despite another crushing defeat against Belgian boss Roberto Martinez called on Clarke to gain time and patience.

& # 39; International football is about having a long-term plan and this group of players has the talent and desire to play for Scotland. Steve Clarke works wonders with a group of players he only sees for three or four days

& # 39; It is very clear to see that there are positive signals. Six players now start in Premier League matches, three in the top six. is very difficult to get players in the top six. This is a long-term plan for Scottish football if everyone is patient. & # 39;

When Jadon Sancho steps to St Mary & # 39; s on Tuesday night, chances are that he will not go into his shell. He won't cave.

In the most likely scenario, this extremely gifted teenager would flourish. Gareth Southgate however, wants tangible evidence.

& # 39; I think we have players that we need to learn more about, give experience with, but not in games that are ridden a lot, if we have already qualified & # 39; said the English boss. "So we have to see people perform under pressure and how they handle it."

When Jadon Sancho steps to St Mary & # 39; s on Tuesday, chances are he won't go into his shell

There you have it, Jadon. Go out, impress and make yourself unbeatable. That is your challenge on Tuesday. Judging by his electrical performance for Borussia Dortmund since he broke in his first XI last season, he is more than able to thrive under the weight of that expectation.

It is clear that Southgate still needs some convictions. He may remember the 19-year-old's previous competitive start when he was replaced in the 61st minute by the loss of the UEFA Nations League in England against the Netherlands in June.

Yet there is a growing feeling that Southgate and his coaching staff feel that they can no longer stop Sancho.

Employees at St George & # 39; s Park have been surprised at his performances in the Bundesliga.

Goals, assists, and liveliness – everything Southgate wants his team to stand for. Sancho is still a teenager, but he can still become the leader of the new age of Southgate.

& # 39; He calmly adapted to international football. He is very quiet when we are around and attentive, & said Southgate.

& # 39; He has faith in his own abilities, you can tell by the way he plays. He is the one who, because of where he plays his club football, still goes a bit under the radar in terms of the quality of his performances and the level at which he plays every week. So, when I mentioned the team, I said he's not a player we want to stop.

& # 39; We recently spoke very positively about the front three of Kane, Sterling and Rashford. He's in those kinds of braces, so we're looking at him and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who also had such a big impact on his first pair of caps, and we're very well served in those areas. & # 39;

Where Sancho & # 39; s rise leaves Marcus Rashford, remains to be seen. Southgate praises his attacking triumvirate after Saturday's victory over Bulgaria – calling the trio one of the best combinations in world football.

But while Kane and Sterling appear to be two of only a handful of guaranteed starters, the position of Rashford in Southgate's first-choice team is not so clear.

Manchester United Marcus Rashford is likely to give way to teenage sensation

Of course, Sancho must first turn it on, starting with Kosovo on Tuesday. But if he does, Rashford could look on the outside.

Liverpool & Trent's # 39; s Trent Alexander-Arnold is about to receive his final audition to master the right-most berth on Tuesday.

But by the end of Tuesday, Southgate will have a clearer picture of how dependent he can become on 20-year-old Anfield Defender.

Southgate said: & # 39; We need to find the right balance between implementing young players and qualifying. It is a bit unique in the sense that normally everyone just wants to be eligible.

& # 39; But we have always used every opportunity that we can try to find the right balance and we know that in the back of our mind, the style of play to qualify will be different than play at a tournament.

& # 39; I remember Glenn Hoddle talking to us about that. I probably didn't understand exactly what he meant, but I am more aware of that now. & # 39;

There is a growing feeling that Gareth Southgate is thinking that he can no longer stop Sancho

Skeptics will say the decision to defeat Sancho and Alexander-Arnold on Tuesday against Kosovo, who are ranked 120th in the world, will do nothing to prove that they have it able to save in the higher regions of international football.

There is faith in those claims. Both play top football and will be involved in the Champions League again this season. "If I look across Europe, you have to say that there is not enough danger in the qualification process to make all groups as exciting as possible," Southgate admitted.

& # 39; There are many games, if I look all over Europe, you go through the list of games and every night I look at the games and maybe a few you might want to tune into.

& I just think we should be careful not to devalue it. It is difficult because there are so many new countries and so many countries to get involved in the process, but we also have to do the right thing for the supporters. & # 39;

The fourth from Wijnaldum was a gift from Lepmets when his header went under the goalkeeper in what should have been a routine rescue.

He wrote: & # 39; Stuart Broad is really absorbed in James Anderson's a James, which was a huge blow to England. Breed has been class, just like Stokes. But England was actually held together by Stokes and Broad. Take them out of this team and they are surrounded by Australia in this series.

& # 39; A lot has been made of Jofra Archer, but you can't just ignite it if it's right. You also have to do the hard yards, and I still have to see him from the hard yards. & # 39;

McGrath insisted that Archer should look at the Australian pace attack in his search for consistency.

& # 39; Archer can preview the example of Pat Cummins from Australia and Josh Hazlewood, who have been extremely impressive in this series, & # 39; he added.

& # 39; Cummins is the No. 1 test bowler in the world for a reason. He keeps on delivering. & # 39;
