Does anyone know what mischief Robinson got upto at Yorkshire?!
Released for 'a number of unprofessional actions'

Paul Farbrace's stepson Oliver Robinson sacked by Yorkshire for disciplinary reasons

Robinson was highly-rated by coach Jason Gillespie, but Yorkshire became exasperated by his lack of professionalism.

His crime sheet included turning up late, misleading the club over where he had been and not travelling to matches with the rest of the team.

The firing squad might have stepped down following the welcome return to form of England captain Alastair Cook at the Ageas Bowl but the camp still have close connections with a cricket axing this week.

Oliver Robinson, the 20-year-old stepson of England assistant coach Paul Farbrace, has been sacked by Yorkshire for disciplinary reasons.

Seam bowler Robinson, who has played seven T20 Blast matches this season, is highly-rated by Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie.

But the county have become exasperated by his lack of professionalism, with his crime sheet including turning up late, misleading the club over where he had been and not travelling to matches with the rest of the team.

A club statement said: ‘Oliver Robinson’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect due to a number of unprofessional actions.’

Farbrace, married to Robinson’s mother Sandra, relocated from Kent to Yorkshire when he was appointed their second XI coach two years ago, and Robinson soon worked his way on to the playing staff at Headingley.

Yorkshire believe Robinson will soon find another county.

I can't find anything that further embellishes...

Yorkshire have sacked pace bowler Oliver Robinson, the son of the England assistant coach Paul Farbrace’s partner Sandra, for “unprofessional actions”.
Robinson, 20, has been axed after a number of disciplinary breaches this season.
Although none of the breaches are believed to be serious, the cumulative effect has tested the patience of the Yorkshire hierarchy, who terminated his contract with immediate effect on Wednesday after another internal disciplinary hearing.
“The Yorkshire County Cricket Club have today announced that Oliver Robinson’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect due to a number of unprofessional actions. No further comment will be made by the club,” Yorkshire said in a statement.
Robinson, who was born and educated in Kent, played three one-day games for Yorkshire last season and seven in this season’s NatWest T20 Blast, in which he took six wickets.

Quite remarkable. No doubt Skysports are jabbering on about Slurrey instead

Yes,but then lets face it that it is only because the BIGGEST DISGRACE to cricket and we know who that **** is,who wants to play for England but does not want to play a non South East county. Like Glamorgan or Leicestershire etc.

Stoneham's not hanging around. A six in the second over. Must recognize the strength of Sussex's bowling

88/1

Robinson gets Jennings.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Time to sack the coach. He's taken us as far as he can this season but now resorting to disgraced distant relatives as free transfers to fill the gap is just desperate.

It's nice to give the kid a chance but he obviously has no talent and should be released at the end of the day.

 

[8ace]

2/101

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Are we becoming a one man (zamora team)

[Lord Bracknell]

Robinson gets a second. Stoneman caught by Joyce.

101/2

 

[The Wizard]

Robinson came in like a wrecking ball!
