After having dismissed Steve Smith in his first spell on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, right-arm quick Ollie Robinson turned to bowl gentle off-spin with sunglasses on. Shane Warne, while on air, likened Robinson's style of bowling to that of former Australia off-spinner Colin Miller.

WHAT WAS THAT!

LOL!

Robinson needs to chop & change between fast & off spin in the same over now. #Ashes

HAHA!

Always had this in my mind that why do bowlers still try and swing the ball on dead pitches?

Robinson knows he can do someone the way bumrah did him🤣 https://t.co/fLnV3PnxdB

REASON?

What could be the reason behind Robinson bowling off spin?

1. Slow over rate.

2.Absence of Joe Root.

3.Lack of intent.#Ashes #cricket
