RE: England must press home their advantage
The Aussies shouldn't be exactly unfamiliar with Archer either given he's had a couple of seasons for the Hobart Hurricanes in the domestic T20 competition here too.
Slightly different kettle of fish when he's only bowling 1 or 2 over spells and you know that with all bowlers in T20 the key to success is variety whereas in Test Match cricket a bowler like Archer can just go fast and hostile for 5 or 6 overs on the bounce which is precisely what he did
True, though some exposure, even in the nets like Wade and Paine will have likely had, is still going to be a little better than none at all, such as if England had picked someone that had burst on to the First Class scene a little more suddenly
