Ollie Robinson

Stomach upsets tend to do that

I’m starting to think we may never see him in international cricket again. Which is astonishing given the ages of Anderson and Broad, and the fact that Woakes, Curran, Wood, Archer, Stone and Mahmoud are all injured

Give over.

He's 28 and averages 21 in test cricket. I don't think McCullum would be so short sighted as to hoy him on the scrap heap.

He again doesn’t look like a professional sportsman in that picture does he?

I really hope he sorts himself out. He’s a quality player, and he recovered well from the social media storm last year.

He's a brilliant bowler, but with his physique he's not exactly going to be capable of long spells in somewhere like India or SL. And it's too much of a risk

And that's coming from a fat **** sat eating a pizza, so no fat shaming intended :lol:


Just don't think you can trust him in unfavorable conditions in his state.

Last summer he seemed physically fine, he just weirdly seems to have given up

(This is obviously a judgement based on limited info, comments from Lewis and his gut)

The guts not the problem he just doesn’t look an athlete

I think there’s a lot of guess work going on

I’d be surprised if it just a simple as “he needs to work harder” to be honest

Potts is a good example no doubt he’s worked hard on fitness but naturally he’s just built better than Robinson, like his frame

It’s probably a bit of both I mean

I’m only not picking Robinson in England squad as he just hasn’t bowled like

I still rate him and he had a future, in England for sure, overseas, not convinced

Oh there is absolutely huge amounts of guess work

But this is from the winter

"It's something he's definitely looking at, and definitely we're working on with him," Lewis told BT Sport at the close. "If he's going to perform consistently over a long period of time at this level, he will need to be a fitter bowler, 100%.

"We've had those conversations, we've been pretty frank with him. And now it's up to him to go and do the work."

Asked how Robinson had responded to the demands from the coaching team, Lewis added: "So far, he has been okay." But, Lewis said, with England's opportunity for match practice hindered by the international cricket's biosecure requirements, the onus was on the bowler himself to put in the sort of fitness work that he has not previously required, given the regularity of his appearances in county cricket for Sussex.

"With our schedule, we've had a lot of cricket, and training and playing at the same time isn't always straightforward, even though we can do it," Lewis said. "That's something he's learning. In county cricket that doesn't often happen. The guys don't train and play together at the same time because they play game after game, after game. But in international cricket, he's on the road a lot, he's going to have to learn to look after himself better than probably does at the moment."

Seems strange to me that following being called out about it at the end of the WIndies tour, he appears to be regressing. Suggests a lack of focus/desire.

His injuries in the WI, bowling in nets then not being fit, barely bowling this season, bowling one over in an innings then bowling off breaks is just bizarre. Something is really not right, if I was McCullum I wouldn't want a player like that near my first squad (appreciate it's not just his choice).
 
That's a real shame, seems to have the talent but either really bad luck or is unprofessional. I can't imagine Lewis made those comments in the winter without having had private discussions first.
