Haha I looked at the county highlights to see if he was bowling meds, was dismayed that he wasn't, and didn't even notice he was sending down offies rather than leggies!

Dude Ollie is a ****ing good bowler man, don't force him to make you eat your hat.

How Robinson goes largely depends on whether he really has improved his fitness significantly or not. I didn't see any of his bowling in the Pakistan series so really can't make a call either way as to if that has happened
Was well below par in that aspect last I saw of him, a bowler who can bowl one good spell and then be gassed for the rest of the game really is not much use at all in Test cricket

My statement was clearly conditional, not absolute

Your statement was clearly formed from a couple of Tests in Australia where as usual England completely ****ed up the selection. There is no fitness issue.
Hazlewood - Not fit
Boland - Never bowled in England
Starc - Not that great in England
Neser - County trundler
Green - Never bowled in England
Australia are really one Cummins injury away from a pretty significant bowling crisis.

He has improved a lot. He has gone on record admitting how his fitness levels weren't good enough for international cricket for the last Ashes and did a lot of work on it.
If you'd seen him in Pakistan you'd have seen a clear change.

Bowling way outside the leg stump and somehow umpire giving them.

We don't know whether that ball's pitched yet or not. If not then just possible it could be in line (in fact it probably is).

If that ain't asking for trouble!!!!!!!
english conditions, robinson is one of the best test bowlers - ever.
Given neser's trundling in county, Abbott will be on standby i imagine, given his all round form and brilliance lately.
Possible bowling attack if Haze injured

Cummins

Don't ignore Green. Could be very useful.

Yeah, I only said he'd not bowled in England before. I do fear those loopy wide half volleys are going to keep on getting edged into the slips. He seems to have a bit of a knack.

Why are you writing neser off as a "county trundler"? He's bowled well in the test's hes got so far, is coming off a career best shield season, has done well in the uk for 2 seasons straight with glamorgan and by all accounts was tougher then haze and cummins to face in the nexts when we last toured ENG, where haze and cummins both took a bag full @20. If he plays a game with the duke's he should be a threat.
neser today returns even mahhnus outshone him LOL
Fellow Aussie Michael Neser opened the bowling in his return to the competition, picking up the wicket of former England representative Scott Borthwick to finish with 1-55 from 19 overs.
Labuschagne's tweakers (2-73 from 15 overs) proved invaluable, albeit a little expensive

Well he's got more experience in England than Boland anyway.
Have you seen the Labuschagne lbw? An embarrassing decision.

i reckon it's not pitched.
