Ollie Robinson fired the first shots ahead of this summer's Ashes when he backed England to "get one over" on Australia and "give them a good hiding".
In an interview with BBC Radio Sussex earlier this month, Robinson said: "When we went to Australia we weren't quite at our best. I really feel we could get one over them and give them a good hiding."
However, Robinson has been warned that his comments could "supercharge" Australia by former England bowler Derek Pringle. "The Aussies are one of the best teams at making opponents pay for any missteps they might make, be it through error or over ambition," Pringle wrote in a column for the Metro.
