The way we are playing at the moment, can win the Ashes comfortably, says England pacer Robinson

London, March 30 : Fast bowler Ollie Robinson believes the way England have been on a huge upswing in playing Test cricket since last year, they can fancy their chances of winning the Ashes comfortably at home.

Head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes have led England to 10 wins in 12 Tests since taking over early last year on the back of an aggressive style playing the longest format of the game.

However, Englands next big assignment in Tests will be playing in the Ashes, starting from June 16 at Edgbaston, with a bright chance of regaining the urn for the first time since 2015."I think the cricket were playing at the moment makes it such an exciting time to play them.

Weve been dominating teams in all conditions for 12 months now.In England we dominated, in Pakistan we dominated and in New Zealand we played most of the cricket for nine days and lost on the last day because we probably werent quite there."But I think the way were playing cricket; we feel like we can really stick one on them and win the series comfortably.

Theres definitely a desire there still, a hunger to put it right.I felt when I got back from that trip I didnt leave it all out there and Id let myself down and the side down a little bit.So its definitely something I want to put right and theres a few fellas in that position as well.So theres a lot of hungry boys this summer to beat the Aussies again," Robinson was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo to reporters in England.

Robinson, who shrugged off fitness levels concerns to be back in the Test team, is scheduled to play three to four County Championship games for Sussex.Also joining him in the side will be Australia batter Steve Smith, who will have a three-game stint in May as part of preparation for the World Test Championship final and Ashes."Itll be good to have him here.

For county cricket its great to have Steve Smith at Sussex.For myself, its not going to change a huge amount.Ill prepare the same way.I might get a better look at him in the nets," the pacer said."I might not bowl at him to be honest.Well see how it goes.

But we had (Cheteshwar) Pujara here last summer and we played India and I bowled at him a lot.I dont read too much into it.Hes a good player, hes going to get runs whether I bowl at him here or not.Its one of those things," he added.nr/ak #Ashes #comtably #England #pacer #Robinson #Cricket #BCCI #ICC #IPL #Sports #London #Acer.
