Former England cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Vaughan praised debutant pace bowler Ollie Robinson for his performance in the ongoing inaugural Test against New Zealand at Lord's, despite the off-field controversy the 27-year-old had courted recently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Robinson, in only his debut Test, took four wickets for 75 runs in the first innings as the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand were all out for 378. In reply, England were demolished by New Zealand pace bowler Tim Southee who returned figures of 6\/43, and concede a 103-run first-innings lead on the penultimate day on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England are currently trailing by 165 runs, with New Zealand batting on 62\/2 in the second innings going into the final day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vaughan took to the Twitter on Saturday, saying: "If one looks at just on-field cricket matters then Ollie Robinson's debut is as impressive as one has seen for a long time for England he looks a player we should see a lot more of going forward."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Robinson had made headlines for all the wrong reasons when after stumps on Day 1, a series of his controversial tweets of sexist and racist nature from the past went viral, creating a controversy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He issued an apology, which was posted on the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) website, saying: "On the biggest day of my career so far, I am embarrassed by the racist and sexist tweets that I posted over eight years ago, which have today become public. I want to make it clear that I'm not racist and I'm not sexist. I deeply regret my actions, and I am ashamed of making such remarks."<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/06\/michael-vaughan-impressed-debutant-ollie-robinsons-on-field-effort-against-new-zealand.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Michael Vaughan Impressed With Debutant Ollie Robinson's 'On-Field' Effort Against", "alt_title": "Michael Vaughan and Ollie Robinson", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Michael Vaughan Impressed With Debutant Ollie Robinson's 'On-Field' Effort Against New Zealand On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": " Michael Vaughan praised debutant pace bowler Ollie Robinson for his performance in the ongoing inaugural Test against New Zealand.", "seo_keywords": "New Zealand Tour Of England, Ollie Robinson, Michael Vaughan", "tag": "", "tagging": "New Zealand Tour Of England,Ollie Robinson,Michael Vaughan,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "michael-vaughan-impressed-with-debutant-ollie-robinsons-on-field-effort-against-new-zealand", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1898", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-06-06 22:03:21", "updated": "2021-06-06 22:03:21", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Michael Vaughan, Ollie Robinson, Vaughan, Robinson, New Zealand, England, ", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "12", "jio_date": "2021-06-06 22:03:21", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-06-06 22:03:21", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/michael-vaughan-impressed-with-debutant-ollie-robinsons-on-field-effort-against-new-zealand-77408" }
