Long may it continue, England seam bowler Ollie Robinson said.
New captain Joe Root said after they won the first test at Leeds by an innings that the four “do not know how good they can be. At Lord’s, Root admitted he’s still trying to figure it out, too. “The more that happens I think the better for it we’ll be.
They are a big reason England clinched the series 2-0 at Lord’s on Sunday with a day and a game to spare.
“It’s just getting used to it, seeing how it works, having a good understanding of it for me as captain, for them as bowlers and for us as a side,” he said. “The four-man attack we’ve got, I think it’s going to be very successful,” Robinson said.
The loss at Lord’s was its 10th in its last 11 away tests. 9 at Edgbaston. But that’s a long time for any player and the foursome has yet to be truly tested. Pakistan has underwhelmed and was struggling before it undertook its first tour of England in six years. The third and last test starts on Sept. Ironically, the retirement of former captain and allrounder Ben Stokes brought the four seamers together in the first post-Bazball series for England. Root praised Robinson, who has been named the player of the match in all three of his tests this summer.
