Ollie Robinson 'doesn't care' about reaction to Usman Khawaja send-off

Bowler unrepentant about his response to key wicket, saying it's part of
the 'theatre' of Ashes


Ollie Robinson has defended his send-off towards Usman Khawaja, saying
he "doesn't care" how Australia might receive his actions and that he is
"here to provide… that theatre of the game".

Robinson removed Khawaja for 141 on the third morning at Edgbaston,
knocking back his off stump as he came down the pitch looking to force
the ball through the off side. He celebrated by shouting towards
Khawaja, and appeared to tell him to, "F*** off, you f***ing prick."

Robinson is expected to be fined a proportion of his match fee and to
receive a demerit point for breaching the ICC's Code of Conduct, which, according to Regulation 2.5, bans players from "using language, actions
or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive
reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal."

"I didn't see it at all," Carey said. "Usman hasn't said anything. It's
an Ashes - at times it's going to be pretty exciting and hostile
cricket, but I actually was sitting there disappointed at getting out
and didn't see anything over the top there. From our dressing-room,
there was no comment."
