England fast bowler Ollie Robinson has justified his abuse of centurion Usman Khawaja during day three of the first Ashes Test by claiming that former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and other Australians had abused England players in the past.
Australia’s 386, just seven behind England’s first innings total, was built on Khawaja’s eight-hour vigil of 141 in 321 balls. The seventh wicket to fall heading towards lunch on day three, Khawaja was bowled by Robinson, who roared as he ran down the pitch, glared at Khawaja and swore at him, an act that should draw the attention of match referee Andy Pycroft.“It’s my first home Ashes and to get the big wicket at the time was special for me,” Robinson said.
“It’s not what we want to do anymore, and since we changed our approach we enjoy our cricket a lot more,” McCullum said in a 2015 interview. “There’s less frustration, less animosity, and it’s amazing the relationships you develop with the opposition.” “I keep encouraging all of our players to be themselves. They do not have to try and impress anyone or sledge just because it might have been done like that in the past.”
