Cricket News: Ollie Robinson slammed for send off to Usman Khawaja | Reactions to Ollie Robinson giving Usman Khawaja a send off after scoring 141

England seam bowler Ollie Robinson has copped criticism online for his fiery send off to Usman Khawaja after dismissing the Australia opener.

Khawaja had hit 141 in an excellent show of patience and determination, but was ultimately undone by terrific captaincy by Ben Stokes and Robinson’s pinpoint execution. However, Robinson’s send off overshadowed the moment, with the seamer coming in for criticism for his send off against a player who hit an excellent century.

After day three, Robinson said he didn’t care what people thought, and emphasised that the Ashes is a very competitive environment. “I don’t really care how it’s perceived to be honest. It’s the Ashes, professional sport. If you can’t handle that, what can you handle?” he said.
