Robinson in rhythm ahead of the Ashes
Ollie Robinson took 14 wickets in Sussex’s county championship draw at Worcester – stil not quite enough for them to force the win – then declared: It’s good to be back in my rhythm.
His form is great news for England with the Ashes starting next month and Robinson says he feels good about his bowling.
He said: "It is nice to get a few wickets and get back into the rhythm of it. It's a shame it didn't get the team over the line. I'm a bit gutted that it's sort of in vain. Nice personally but I'd rather we'd have got the win.
"My body feels alright. I came off with just a bit of cramp so probably a little bit dehydrated. No, my body feels good after four tough days.
"Can I play against Leicestershire on Thursday? Before the game, my intention was to play there so nothing has changed in my mind. I'll obviously speak to England and see what their thinking is but I'm more than happy to keep it going.
"I feel like I'm in good rhythm with the ball but hopefully keep it going.”
At Worcester Azhar Ali demonstrated his class and vast experience to help Worcestershire to secure a draw from the division two encounter at New Road despite a stunning performance from Robinson.
Robinson added: "Azhar Ali played well, we know he is a world class player. Two of the world's best batters (Cheteshwar Pujara and Azhar) both got hundreds in this game and applied themselves brilliantly and got the rewards."
Robinson followed up his first innings 7-59 with 7-57 and his career best match figures of 45.4-10-116-14.
