The pair were team-mates at Barbados outfit Wildey, which is the level below first class cricket.
"I got pinged (hit) on the helmet the last time I faced him at club practice two years ago," Romario Greaves said.
"He's very difficult to bat against as we have all seen.
"He's got a very skidding bumper (laughs), there's not a lot of reaction time.
ALSO IN SPORT:
"He moves the ball sideways as well, inswing, outswing, he's very crafty."
Naturally, CAW provincial is a long way from Archer's 150km plus thunderbolt which floored the seemingly invincible Smith in the second Ashes Test.
However, just as Archer made an unforgettable impression during the exhilarating Australia-England series, 24-year-old Greaves is also out to make an impact.
"Obviously it's much different conditions (to home), it will help me with bowling and batting," he said.
"You're basically on your own here, to a certain extent, so it helps as a cricketer develop the skills you'll need at the next level.
"I'd love to play IPL (Indian Premier League) or Big Bash, I have great ambitions."
Greaves is a right-hand batsman and right-arm off-spinner.
"Back home, I'm more of a container in the white-ball format, 50-over, T20, tight overs, taking the odd couple of wickets," he said.
"With the bat, I like to have a free spirit, I like to play my shots. My motto is 'risk, reward' in a sense (laughs)."
Greaves only arrived in the country late last week and 48 hours later made his T20 debut in the win over Tallangatta, hitting 22 runs at number four before taking 1-16 from his four overs.
It was tough against Wodonga the next day though, posting a fourth ball duck.
Greaves recently trialled unsuccessfully for Barbados, but received a boost from former team-mate in West Indian all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite.
"When I got to the airport, he said, 'never mind about back home in terms of the trials selection, just put your best foot forward, you never know what happens'," he said.
If Greaves brings just a portion of his former team-mates' flamboyance, East Albury will be excited.
