Ollie Robinson made an excellent return to international cricket this summer, picking up 12 wickets at an average of 15 in two Test matches against South Africa.
Interestingly, Robinson was entrusted in both Tests with taking the new ball alongside James Anderson, with Stuart Broad coming on as first change. When he opened the bowling in the second Test at Old Trafford, it was the first time since January 2010 where Anderson and Broad had not taken the new ball for England when playing together.
And Broad has now revealed the plan for Robinson to open the bowling instead of him was formulated in captain Ben Stokes' car while the pair were playing a game of golf.
