Following that incident back then, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had expressed disappointment after the England pacer walked away after flooring Steve Smith with a lethal delivery. Shoaib Akhtar, in his tweet, wrote that bouncers were part and parcel of the game but whenever a bowler floored a batsman, it was the courtesy of the bowler to check on the victim. He condemned Archer's actions and said that he was always the first one to rush to the batsman when such an incident occurred during his playing days.
