Mail Sport – You Aussie whingers

The Mail goes a bit further than the other papers back pages, calling the Aussies “whingers” for criticising Robinson, who says Australia have done similar for years.

England pace bowler Robinson bowled Usman Khawaja for 141 and appeared to swear at Khawaja as he made his way back to the pavilion.

He went on to say he does not care how his celebration for the wicket of Usman Khawaja was perceived in the Australia dressing room.

“We’ve all seen Ricky Ponting and other Aussies do the same to us,” Robinson said. “Just because the shoe is on the other foot, it’s not received well.”

Robinson, 29, is yet to be contacted by the match referee and would not comment when asked if he expected to be.

“It’s my first home Ashes Test and to get the big wicket was special,” said the Sussex man.

“Uzzie played unbelievably well and to get that wicket was massive. We want that theatre of the game, so I’m here to provide it.”

When asked if the outburst towards Khawaja might make him a target for the Australians, Robinson said: “I don’t really care how it’s perceived. It’s the Ashes, professional sport. If you can’t handle that, what can you handle?”
