The fast bowler of the England cricket team, Ollie Robinson, reflected that the 4-1 Test series loss against India did not accurately reflect their performance during the tour. Despite starting the series with a win in Hyderabad, England faced setbacks as India rallied to win the remaining four Tests.
Ollie Robinson, who played one Test in the series without taking any wickets, lamented missed opportunities, including a dropped catch in the fourth Test. He felt that the final scoreline of 4-1 was not a fair representation of England’s efforts, suggesting that on another occasion, the series result could have been 3-2 in their favor.
We were close to reversing that result. A catch I dropped in the fourth test would have helped us, but, no, we feel like 4-1 was undeserved.”
Robinson said, “We played some really good cricket, and maybe on another tour it could have been 3-2 to us; who knows?”
Despite the disappointments, Robinson remains optimistic about England’s future under coach Brendon McCullum’s aggressive approach. He believes that England’s style of play is exciting for fans and has the potential to elevate them to the top of international cricket.
Despite their current rankings, Robinson believes England is on the cusp of greatness and only requires minor improvements to dominate world cricket.
Robinson further added, “I think we’re close to being the best in the world, to be honest. A few one percenters here and there, and we can dominate the world of cricket.”
