Cricket Resurgence: Ollie Robinson Leads Sussex’s Charge in Division Two

After a challenging period marked by disappointing performances in the Ashes and India, as well as fitness concerns, Ollie Robinson has made an impressive comeback, spearheading Sussex’s resurgence in the County Championship this season.

The visually trimmer and fitter Robinson has been a driving force behind Sussex’s rise to the top of Division Two, featuring in seven out of nine Championship games and bowling over 200 overs. His 27 wickets have been a significant contribution to Sussex’s success.

Bouncing Back After a Mauling

While the 43 runs he conceded in an over against Leicestershire last week garnered attention, it’s essential to recognize his other 32 overs in the match, during which he took 5-98. Rather than hiding away after the mauling, Robinson bounced back, breaking the eighth-wicket partnership and nearly securing a victory for Sussex.

“Robinson may have slipped down the England pecking order, but it would be premature to suggest his international career is on the brink.”

Reaping the Rewards of Robinson’s Presence

Though Robinson may have slipped down the England pecking order, it would be premature to suggest his international career is on the brink. Much will depend on how he responds to being dropped, but for now, Sussex are reaping the rewards of his prolonged stay at Hove this season.
