Ollie Pope comes to the support of Ollie Robinson after the pacer’s violent dismissal of Usman Khawaja. “But if Robinson can get on a good run. Hopefully, he can celebrate the way he wants to celebrate,” Pope said.

The first Ashes 2023 Test had multiple talking points, from Pat Cummins’ explosiveness with the bat to Moeen Ali playing despite an injury. The Edgbaston Test did not disappoint. Nothing, however, was more talked about than Ollie Robinson’s harsh farewell to Usman Khawaja on Day 3 of the first Test.

Robinson sledged Khawaja after removing him in the first innings, which sparked outrage. Both players were involved in a verbal brawl during the game. Their passionate dispute made headlines across the world.

Robinson drew a lot of flak for his actions from past luminaries and experts. However, English batter Ollie Pope defend the pacer, claiming that the sledging was not personal and simply how Robinson play his cricket.

“I believe Ollie is the type of guy who gets involve in battle. ” And, in a major series like this, I believe emotions can almost take over while you’re on the pitch. But he’s a terrific man, and I believe in an Ashes series, these things are really brought to light. ” India Today cited Ollie Pope as saying.

Hopefully, he can let the ball do all the talking: Pope

Furthermore, Pope praised Robinson, saying that he hoped the pacer will let the ball do the talking in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

“I’m not sure; I haven’t ask him.” But if he can get on a nice run, he should be able to celebrate the way he wants to. But he’s just going to go about his business as usual. He’s a high-quality bowler, so hopefully he can let the ball do all the talking,” Pope concluded.
