Ricky Ponting hits back at Ollie Robinson for dragging his name while defending his send-off of Usman Khawaja

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has slammed England seamer Ollie Robinson for dragging his name while defending his send-off of Usman Khawaja.
“We’ve all seen Ricky Ponting and other Aussies do the same to us, and just because the shoe is on the other foot it’s not received well,”Robinson had said after being asked about his run-in with the Australian opener.
Khawaja, who scored 141 and 65 in the firs Test has played down the first-innings incident and call it a “friendly banter.”
However, Ricky Ponting didn’t hold back and in the ICC Review podcast, he took aim at Robinson.

“As I said after Ollie Robinson said what he said, this England cricket team hasn’t played against Australia and they’ll find out pretty quickly what playing Ashes cricket and playing against a good Australian cricket team is all about,” Ponting said.
“And if Ollie Robinson hasn’t learned that already after last week, then he’s a slow learner.
“Some of the things he had to say – I mean he even brought my name into it, which I felt was a little bit unusual, but for me it’s water off a duck’s back.

“If he is sitting back thinking about me, then no wonder he bowled like the way that he did in that game, if he’s worried about what I did 15 years ago.
“He’ll learn pretty quickly that if you’re going to talk to Australian cricketers in an Ashes series, then you want to be able to back it up with your skills.”
