is criticized by Michael Atherton
Concerns have been expressed regarding the Three Lions’ performance following England’s defeat in the IND vs. ENG Test series. Ollie Robinson has been criticized by former England captain Michael Atherton. In the IND vs. ENG Ranchi Test, the pacer played his first match of the series.
However, Robinson did not receive a happy ending. The bowler did not pick up a single wicket. Furthermore, in the second innings, Ben Stokes did not bowl a single over to Ollie Robinson as India chased down 192 with 5 wickets remaining. Atherton criticized the pacer, alleging his speed was slow.
“Ollie Robinson disappointed me in this game. I believed he bowled, but his pace was pedestrian, and he was fairly slow. Obviously hit a half-century but missed a catch. He was not called upon by Stokes on the final day, and he appeared to have been out of cricket for seven months. “He looks like a bowler who needs a good run of game time right now, and not necessarily with England,” Atherton stated on the news sources.
In the first England Lions match against India A, Robinson was included in the squad. His most recent appearance for his country was in the Ashes series against Australia. But as India won handily, Robinson’s inclusion proved to be ineffective.Due to work management, Mark Wood was rested for the fourth test between IND and ENG. Robinson subsequently teamed up in Ranchi with seasoned player James Anderson.
