There were bizarre scenes at Adelaide Oval after England captain Joe Root was sent for scans following a pre-match training mishap.
I donât have strong opinions on the WTC over rate penalty issue ⦠but Ollie Robinson bowling off spin does rather make a mockery of a series thatâs been marketed as the ultimate in Test cricket.December 19, 2021
“He got some nice loop, didn’t bowl too fast and a little bit of turn,” Australian great Shane Warne said on Fox Cricket. “Normally you’ll see a part-timer that’s not used to it try and fire it in. But it’s nice to see Ollie Robinson giving it a little bit of loop. “It’s nice to have that versatility. We played with Colin Miller … you could give him the new rock with a bit of swing then he’d turn to spin.”Root gingerly returned to the field of play about 30 minutes before the dinner break, but did not bowl before the interval.
Australia is 4/134 at the dinner break on day four, with first innings centurion Marnus Labuschagne unbeaten on 31 and Travis Head at the other end on 45.
