Title: Oliver Robinson
Post by: tailender on July 30, 2014, 12:57:57 PM

Young Yorkshire bowler Oliver Robinson has been sacked with immediate effect from Yorkshire

They have refused to make any further comment other than to say numerous unprofessional actions led to his dismissal..... wonder what he has done!

'Numerous' - usually county code for 'drink' or 'drugs' problem.

If he's good enough (don't know, I've not heard of him) he might be lucky and one of the smaller counties may take a punt on him.

I've just read that he is Farbrace's step son so I can't imagine he'll have too many issues getting another gig.

I hope he doesn't get another gig.

Simply no need to abuse a very privileged position. It'll be bad enough some club side will pay him

Behaviour issues. Not turning up to training after nights out, not attending team meetings and disrupting team sessions. According to dailymail.

Ah ok nothing serious just a number of things over a period of time. Only 20 so deserves on other chance. Could be the making of him I guess.
