Absolutely extraordinary. Never seen anything quite like that. Desperate agony for Pakistan and Mohammad Nawaz. But what about that from Virat Kohli?? That is world-class. And that is one of the greatest sporting dramas, in front of 90,000 at the MCG, you could ever wish to see

Yes the tweets Ollie Robinson sent in 2012 are unacceptable and yes their emergence could not have come at a worse time. But we are talking about a teenager long before he had the responsibility an England career brings. A 'full investigation' by ECB is over the top IMO.
