England seamer Ollie Robinson has come under severe criticism for his aggressive send-off of Australian batter Usman Khawaja during the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston. After dismissing Khawaja for 141 in Australia’s first innings, the Englishman mouthed a few expletives towards the Aussie while celebrating and later defended his reaction, saying it’s part of “the theatre of the game.”
According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, sources close to match officials have claimed that Robinson received a warning rather than severe punishment for his aggressive behaviour as it was felt that his reaction was “an exaggerated celebration rather than a send-off.” The report further added that match referee Andy Pycroft took no official action against Robinson and that the International Cricket Council said it does not comment on the referee’s decisions.
