Where are we going with this? – Broad Stuart
In his Daily Mail column, Stuart Broad criticized Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden for their comments about Ollie Robinson. Broad mentioned that the ICC had no problem with the incident on the field between Robinson and Usman Khawaja.
“A lot more has been made of the words on the pitch between Ollie Robinson and Usman Khawaja than there should have been, to be honest.
Finally, the ICC had no problem with Ollie’s reaction to firing Khawaja in the early innings and I don’t like Matthew Hayden’s derogatory comments about him,” Broad wrote.

“Ollie averages 21 with the ball in Test Cricket for a decent time and bowls in a very similar way to Glenn McGrath. Yes, there was a bit of excitement on the pitch, but obviously we’re seeing the Aussie lads in the hall halls all the time, eating lunch in the same room and having a nice week.
Now a couple of expletives the other way and it’s all piling up. Where are we going with this? added

I’m sure he’ll die pretty quickly – Stuart Broad
Stuart Broad said Robinson had a blank mind, adding that the reaction from the Australian media had surprised them.
“Ricky Ponting got a bit of a bite because Robbo put his name on things during a press conference, but not because Ricky was a great sled,” further stated.

“Ollie had a bit of a blank mind, Ricky Ponting was the most famous ex-Australian cricketer he could think of, and the Australia team he played for wasn’t full of shrinking violets, so the fuss that ensued created surprised us.
i’m sure it will calm down pretty quickly, though, because with the teams getting along so well it’s a bit irrelevant.” He concluded.
