At six-foot-five-inches tall, Ollie Robinson is a fast bowler any cricket team would be proud to have in their side. The 27 year-old’s ability to swing the ball coupled with pinpoint accuracy soon got the attention of the England selectors. The Sussex bowler was recently called up to play his first test against New Zealand. He did well – taking seven wickets for 101 runs with the ball and a decent-looking 42 with the willow.
Yet as any fellow England cricket fan will tell you, disappointment is never far away. With Saturday’s play lost to rain, England was set an ambitious but achievable total. Rather than go for the win, the team dug in and ground out an uninspiring draw.
