Ollie Robinson makes bold Ashes prediction: We'll stick one on them

    England seamer Ollie Robinson has fired the first shot ahead of the highly anticipated 2023 Ashes Series.

    It hasn't even been 12 months since the appointment of Brendon McCullum as head coach of the England Test team, but the turnaround has been remarkable.

    McCullum and captain Ben Stokes' 'Bazball' has brought much success, the kind of success that feeds the belief that England's Test side can overturn the embarrassing 4-0 thumping at the hands of the Australians in the 2021-2022 Ashes series.

    Robinson is buoyed by England's new aggressive brand of red ball cricket that has seen them win ten of the last 12 Tests.

    "The way we're playing cricket, we feel like we can really stick one on them and win the series comfortably," said the 29-year-old, as per

    <em>cricket.com.au</em>.

    "I think the cricket we're playing at the moment makes it such an exciting time to play them.

    "We've been dominating teams in all conditions for 12 months now. In England we dominated, in Pakistan we dominated and in New Zealand we played most of the cricket for nine days and lost on the last day because we probably weren't quite there."

    Robinson, who took 11 wickets at an average of 25.54 on that disastrous Ashes tour, revealed his teammates are looking for payback.

    "There's definitely a desire there still, a hunger to put it right," continued the right-hander.

    "I felt when I got back from that trip I didn't leave it all out there and I'd let myself down and the side down a little bit.

    "It's definitely something I want to put right and there's a few fellas in that position as well. There's a lot of hungry boys this summer to beat the Aussies again."

    The first Ashes Test gets underway at Edgbaston in Birmingham on 16 June.
