The pace bowler is stronger, fitter and says there is more to come after his five wickets against South Africa
“I’ve become a bit of a gym freak,” Ollie Robinson said with a big smile, half an hour after England’s innings win against South Africa in the second Test at Old Trafford.
Robinson had just picked up three of the last five wickets with the new ball as South Africa’s resistance finally folded on the third afternoon like a hastily put up tent at a festival. Ben Stokes, who had pushed for Robinson’s recall, was like a proud father at a wedding during the post-match press conference, stamping him with the words “new start” and praising his speed and new-found stamina.
