Great knock on debut by Conway. Brings it up with a 6

England running out of ideas already. Whoops.

Understand why we had to leave out a spin option but it�s always a risk we will seem to samey...

Left arm away from the right hander and fairly accurate at least gives a different attacking option.

This Conway chap is annoyingly good.

England have been annoyingly bad.

Looks a very placid surface on which to bat. I don't think that England did a lot wrong with the ball.

I hope this isn't the sort of pitch we prepare when we play India

Oh dear, there seems to be a storm over Robinson, he�s had problems in the past but it�s bad timing and the subject matter involved is highly sensitive in 2021.

I don�t know myself if something done at 18 can or should be used against him now, but do the ECB not check the background of anyone likely to play before they actually set foot on the field?

It's a difficult one... my thing is always people do stupid things when younger but it's the ... are they genuinely sorry or sorry they got caught and exposed... Or is he still a $%^* when in the company of his mates...

He shouldn�t have done it, but what�s really pathetic is the fact that some sad loser has either been sitting on them for the last 9 years for this specific day to come, or has trawled through 9 years of tweets in order to ruin his first day as a test player. If the ECB punish him in any way it will be an absolute disgrace. He was young and stupid - move on.

Also more inclined to give the benefit to mistakes made at 18, I don't think it can be held against you for life.

The timing is awful thou, with the ECB today starting a new anti racism campaign headed up by the players.

Gut feeling here is this will blow up into a very big problem. Robinson in interviews I've read realises his unprofessional attititude got him sacked from Yorkshire, and wanted and did change his behaviour.

We know our media, they want to string someone up and how you are seen by the public has huge influence.image matters far more than it did in the past.

it will be interesting how the ECB deal with it, Robinson has apologised, that would of been enough a few years ago, don't know if it will be seen that way now.

Agree. I don't like it either, it's underhand. Nothing came out when he was turning out in a Sussex match.

ECB launches a new campaign to stamp out discrimination, always going to be someone out there to tarnish that

Weren't they on the BBC at 7pm? I thought I heard that. Maybe they meant available on I-player from 7pm?

Thing is, most people aren�t racist and sexist when they�re eighteen.
