‘Inki ego hurt ho gayi’ – Fans react as Matthew Hayden hits out at Ollie Robinson, calls him a ‘forgettable cricketer’

Former Australian Cricketer Matthew Hayden feels that Australian team can learn a lot of things from England despite winning the first match of Ashes 2023 against them. Notably, the visitors registered a thrilling 2-wicket victory on the final day of the first Test match of the series at the Edgbaston stadium in Birmingham.

The former cricketer pointed out at the England pacer Ollie Robinson that the Australian batter could look to attack him in the upcoming Test match at Lords. He also acknowledged England’s Bazball approach and suggested Australia to use the same in their batting in the rest of the matches.

“They (England) will only know one way to play now. Stokes really said it in his press conference as well. ‘Look, we didn’t get that result but that’s not going to stop the way that we want to go about our business’. In fact, I reckon Australian cricket can learn a bit from it (BazBall),” Hayden said on SENQ Breakfast.

“As soon as Pat Cummins started coming at Joe Root and hit a couple of sixes. Then the other bloke (Ollie Robinson), he’s a forgettable cricketer. A fast bowler that is bowling 124 (kph) nude nuts and he’s got a mouth from the south,” he further added.
