Ashes 2023: “Robinson should receive a fine,” Healy & Border Criticise the English Pacer

Healy believes Robinson should receive a fine as he was trying to incite a reaction from Khawaja.

Ollie Robinson has faced criticism from former Australia cricketers Ian Healy and Allan Border for his verbal confrontation with Usman Khawaja after dismissing him for 141 runs. However, Robinson has defended his actions and stated that he does not regret his celebration.

Former Australia captain Allan Border acknowledges that Robinson’s reaction may have occurred in the heat of the moment. Border suggests that Robinson may face consequences for his behavior when he comes out to bat during England’s second innings, implying that the Australian team might seek revenge or use the incident as motivation.

“I have heard some send-offs and have given some send-offs myself. It is sort of heat of the moment sort of stuf,” Border told SEN Breakfast.

“Generally, I think Robinson is a pretty fair bloke from what I gather. But, you get fired up as a big fast bowler, words are said and then afterwards it’s all forgotten about generally.

“The media will jump on it, of course, but you know what goes around comes around, he’s put a bit of a target on his head.

“When he comes out the bat, hopefully it’s early tomorrow, and the Aussies won’t forget that’s for sure.”

Healy believes Robinson should receive a fine as he was trying to incite a reaction from Khawaja.

“It is a lack of class like he’s been criticised for, but that’s ok, it happens in the heat of the moment. I think he should have been punished because it was shown so closely on TV and it does incite retaliation” Healy told SENQ Breakfast.

“If Khawaja retaliated to that and said something back to him, he’d probably get in trouble.

“He (Robinson) was trying to incite that, it was rude and it was rugged.

“There probably should have been a little fine handed down to Ollie.”

Robinson has defended his actions, arguing that the Australian team has also been known to engage in similar behavior on the field.
