England pacer Ollie Robinson might need disturbed the fallacious bear as he has discovered himself within the firing line of most likely each former Australian cricketer after he name-dropped Ricky Ponting in the course of the press convention in reference to sledging. Robinson, who was caught cussing Usman Khawaja on the stump mic after dismissing him on 141 within the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, stated after the incident that Ponting would be the one from Aussie camp to begin sledging and it was simply the tip of the iceberg.
Since then, Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, and Matthew Hayden have all gone behind Robinson urging him to give attention to cricket somewhat than indulging in talking and the newest one to be part of the bandwagon is Michael Clarke. While the earlier ones have been humble in expressing their opinion, Clarke was easy and got here to the purpose, saying that Robinson ought to simply preserve quiet.
In a no-nonsense response on the Big Sports Breakfast present, Clarke stated, “He needs to shoosh. If England were absolutely suit you wouldn’t even get a recreation, Ollie. If Jofra Archer was playing, or if Mark Wood had been playing and was absolutely match, previous mate — I don’t know what city he performs for — he’d be again playing clubbies.”
Clarke stated he would have understood if somebody like James Anderson was saying all this however for Robinson, who’s new to worldwide cricket, he ought to simply give attention to his job at hand somewhat than talking ailing about another participant.
“I really don’t know what he’s doing. If James Anderson is saying all this, he’s received road cred. He’s performed 180 Test matches, he’s received plenty of wickets. This dude has been round for 5 minutes. He needs to think about taking wickets .. Ollie, simply preserve taking five-fors after which you may say what you want,” he additional added.
Even although Robinson has made extra headlines due to his mouth, he was on the cash with the ball as nicely within the first Ashes Test, particularly on the ultimate day when Australia were working away with the sport and he together with Stuart Broad bent their backs and gave it their all on a flat Edgbaston pitch. With Australia 1-0, England will want their batters and bowlers to stage a robust comeback at Lord’s.
