Not really, like it or not Archer if injury free will be a top fast bowler for the next decade.
Fast bowling is a problem for Australia, the Warne era has seen a generation grow up as spinners, we've too many Warnes and not enough Lillees at the moment!
Secondly, the Phil Hughes thing put the wind up the Aussie cricketers, not only the batsmen but the bowlers. We don't play that aggressive anymore, and our attitude has changed. We've gone from one extreme to the other!
In the Thommo/Lillee era we were the ones smirking when the batsmen got hit so we shouldn't be hypocrites now, but we should be prepared to get even which I doubt we have in us anymore! It's sport, blokes shouldn't be a risk of dying from a legitimate part of the game.
