Piers Morgan has taken aim at Australia’s “sweet-tongued little lambs” after England fast bowler Ollie Robinson was criticised for giving Usman Khawaja an X-rated send-off.
Robinson gave Khawaja a verbal volley after bowling the Australian opener on day three of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston. Khawaja had batted superbly to reach 141 before Robinson snuck a yorker past his defences to uproot his off-stump.
The England bowler was then caught on the stump mic shouting “F*** off you f***ing p****” in Khawaja’s direction in his follow through. The send-off was picked up on by journalists in the press conference at the end of the day, but Morgan was quick to highlight what he saw as hypocrisy by writing a sarcastic post on Twitter.
