Ollie Robinson has been slammed for the brutal send-off he gave Usman Khawaja but the English fast bowler has refused to apologise and claimed Ricky Ponting and other Aussies 'do the same' thing.
Robinson dismissed the Australian opener on 141 during the third day of the first Test and appeared to scream “f**k off, you f**king prick” in his face during the wicket celebrations.
