LOS Angeles: Ollie Robinson started the week off by bowling his new Sussex teammate, Australia run machine Steve Smith, in the nets, and ending the season with a career-best record of 14 for 117 against Worcestershire at New Road. In his 46th birthday, he was hobbling from the field as a result of a horrific draw played out on a difficult outfield, but he maintained, "My body feels all right." It was just a little bit of cramp, but I was definitely dehydrated. My body is doing well, which is a relief after four days of grueling days.' Robinson, who took seven wickets in each innings, will take the Ashes at Edgbaston on June 16 with Smith's pre-match praise ringing in his ears: I was impressed with him when he was out in Australia.' I was certain he had some really strong skills, but it looks like he hasn't lost his sincerence since then.'
