Two Australian supporters were ejected from Old Trafford on the first day of the fourth Ashes Test for using "foul and abusive" language towards England fast bowler Jofra Archer. The pair, who were standing below the England dressing room, are alleged to have shouted "Jofra, show us your passport" among other things according to the Daily Telegraph.
Other spectators standing near the pair are understood to have complained to stewards but, as the abuse escalated, protested to the police which resulted in the two men being asked to leave the ground. A Lancashire spokesman confirmed the incident took place and insisted the club have a zero tolerance policy on abusive behaviour. While Archer was born in Barbados, he has long had a UK passport courtesy of his British father. Frank Archer was born in Catford and was a driver on the London underground before retiring to Liverpool.
Archer did not respond to the abuse but was described by the Telegraph as looking "angered."
"Jofra's been coming here since he was two-years-old so you've got to ignore that stuff in the press about how he's just popped up from nowhere," Frank told the Cricket Paper.

We are batting England out of the game and yet we are onll playing with only two batsmen.
Really happy to see Paine make some runs. He will always be under pressure until the day Carey takes his spot but he deserves far more credit for the makeover of the Aussie cricket brand. And this is more likely to come when he makes some runs
