It's "impossible" to crank up speeds in excess of 90 mph every over, but given that he is capable of inflicting collapse on opposition teams when he gets it right, Jofra Archer will always remain an integral part of the current England side, said former skipper Michael Vaughan. 

Vaughan came in defence of Archer, who faced criticism while bowling in the first Test against West Indies at the Ageas Bowl for having slowed down a touch following injury in South Africa last winter.

The naysayers had their go mostly in the first innings when Archer failed to pick up a wicket, before he responded with an opening burst of high quality in the second, taking 3/45, which, however, couldn't save England from a four-wicket defeat. 

"I was delighted with Jofra's spell yesterday (on Day 5) - he was back to doing what he does best," Vaughan said on the BBC Radio 5 Live Tuffers and Vaughan podcast. "When I see those spells like I did yesterday, you just know he's got that point of difference."

Former West Indies pacer Tino Best was quick to point out how Archer's pace isn't what it was during the last year's Ashes, his first series in Test cricket. The comment that followed an ugly exchange between the two over social media. 

"Going forward he (Archer) will have frustrating days, he's a young bowler. Will he become really consistent the older he gets? Maybe," Vaughan said. 

"Look at (Australia's) Brett Lee and (Pakistan's) Shoaib Akhtar. They have lots of spells where you just go 'come on, you can crank it up', but it's impossible. The body just doesn't allow you to do it every single over that you bowl."

"But when you get that click, that six or seven overs where everything is in sync and you see the ball flying down at 90mph-plus causing chaos, that's why you put Jofra Archer in your team," he added.
