If you have lost fingernails worrying about results this World Cup, you needn't have. You could have just scrolled through Jofra Archer's Twitter feed from between 2013 and 2016 and you would have known everything about the tournament from there. A few committed accounts on Twitter kicked it off, allow us to take it just that little bit further.
Finally on cricinfo #ChildHoodDream

He knew Andre Russell would amp up the pace, but that it might cost him his fitness.

He also wanted to let his captain know well in advance that record-breaking six-hitting against Afghanistan was something he dug.

We're really not sure how he knew Liton Das was going to make a big impact in his first World Cup match all the way back in 2013, when Liton hadn't even made his List A debut.

Moeen being left out for a few games, only to get a chance, play a really rash shot and then be sacrificed for a seamer again - a surprise to everyone? Not to Archer, who knew this in February 2014.

Archer wasn't even born the last time England made the World Cup final, in 1992. He knew they'd make it in 2019, though.
