Towards the end of the Ashes, England’s management made some pointed remarks about Ollie Robinson’s conditioning.
Needless to say, these comments were made in public, having been made in private first. Robinson had pulled up with a back spasm in the Fifth Test in Hobart. While it was hard to directly attribute the injury to his fitness and conditioning, England clearly felt he was not as professional in his approach to the game (in terms of training and nutrition) as he needed to be and the message was not getting through.
