England looks to be in serious trouble at the Gabba... But Mark Taylor says there's one guy who can win them this match 🤨 Ashes
A storm halted play and then bad light ultimately ended it, meaning Australia will begin its batting innings when players return on Day 2.The Aussies have the chance to stamp their dominance with a big win at the Gabba.
"I haven't seen much of Robinson, but what I saw of him against India is he's a bit like a Hazlewood – he's a tall guy who bowls a good line and length at that off stump, has the ability to take it away a little bit in the air and back in off the seam," Taylor told Wide World of Sports post-play.Taylor was shocked that England opted to leave both James Anderson - Test cricket's most successful ever fast bowler - and Stuart Broad out of the XI for the opening match.
"But if England are going to give Australia a run for their money in this series they won't be relying purely on Anderson and Broad, so tomorrow is an opportunity for Robinson and Woakes in particular, who should enjoy bowling on that pitch.
