Ashes 2023: According to Healy, Robinson ought to have been Disciplined for Attempting to provoke Khawaja’s RetaliationOn day three of the first Ashes test at Edgbaston, England pacer Olie Robinson attempted to elicit a response from left-handed batter Usman Khawaja by giving him a ferocious send-off. According to legendary Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy, this behavior should have resulted in a fine.
On day three of play on Sunday, Robinson removed Khawaja for 141, banging back his off stump as he came down the pitch attempting to drive the ball through the off side. During his excitement for capturing Khawaja’s wicket, the bowler appeared to curse at him.
Although he has received criticism for his lack of class, it’s okay because it happened in the heat of the moment. Due to the close-up nature of the television coverage and the likelihood of reprisals, I believe he ought to have been disciplined.
Khawaja would undoubtedly get into problems if he responded to him in kind and said something back. He was attempting to incite it, and his behavior was crude and rough. Healy told SEN Radio that Ollie probably ought to have received a small fine.
On the other hand, Allan Border, a former captain of Australia, speculated that Pat Cummins and company may now verbally abuse Robinson when he bats in England’s second innings.
“I have witnessed some send-offs and have even delivered a few send-offs. It’s kind of like spur-of-the-moment stuff. From what I’ve heard, Robinson seems like a really kind guy in general.
But as a big fast bowler, you get worked up, things are said, and then, often, afterward, everything is forgotten. Of course, the media will latch onto it, but as they say, “what goes around comes around,” and now he has a bit of a bullseye on his back. Hopefully, early tomorrow morning when he bats, the Australians won’t forget, border Remarked.
Border considered the situation hilarious since Robinson continued to play despite Khawaja dominating for a significant portion of the match until he was ejected for 141.
You haven’t made a comeback as a batsman, have you? The bowler always prevails because he is the one who gets you out, even if you are conversing with him the entire time. You reach 140 and still receive a spray, he Remarked.
