Ollie Robinson, an England fast bowler, said that he doesn’t care how people see him celebrating after getting Usman Khawaja out on Day 3 of the Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
Notably, Ollie Robinson yelled a lot of bad words after he fired Khawaja, which led to a lot of criticism. Khawaja got 141 runs off of 321 balls, which helped the team led by Pat Cummins get to 386 runs in the first inning. Robinson said after the day’s games that Ricky Ponting and other Australian players had done the same thing to England before.
“Ricky Ponting and other Aussies have all done the same thing to us. “It doesn’t go over well just because the shoe is on the other foot,” Robinson said at the end-of-day news conference.
Robinson went on to say that this is his first home Ashes game and that getting Khawaja out was a big deal for him. The 29-year-old also said that the Australian starter was a great cricket player.
“This is my first Ashes Test at home, and getting the big wicket was a big deal. Uzzie played so well, and getting that wicket was a huge deal. We want the game to be exciting, so I’m here to give it to us,” he said.
When asked if Khawaja’s reaction could make him a target for the Australians, Ollie Robinson said he doesn’t care how people see his joy.
“I really don’t care how people see it. It is a professional event called the Ashes. “If you can’t deal with that, what can you deal with?” The English runner came to an end.
Cummins and Boland score, and England end Day 3 with a score of 28/2.
After Australia was bowled out for 386 in the first session of Day 3, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley were both out in the first over by quick bowlers Pat Cummins and Scott Boland. The team led by Ben Stokes led by 35 runs at the end of Day 3, which was cut short by rain. On Day 4, Joe Root and Ollie Pope will bat again. It will be interesting to see if England sticks to their “Bazball” strategy or if they try something else.
