Ollie Robinson has produced a remarkable statistical landmark in Test cricket, moving past Jasprit Bumrah to claim the best bowling average among bowlers with at least 20 Tests over the last 100 years.Robinson reached the mark during England’s second Test against Pakistan at Lord’s on Sunday, as his four-wicket burst helped put England firmly in control of the fourth innings. The England seamer entered the day already among the most efficient Test bowlers of the modern era and strengthened his numbers further by dismantling Pakistan’s resistance.With his wickets in the second innings, Robinson’s career average moved to around 19.5, taking him past Bumrah’s previous benchmark of 19.79 for bowlers who made their Test debuts after 2000 and have played at least 20 matches.At the time of this report, Robinson had played 23 Tests, bowling in 43 innings and taking 99 wickets at an average of 19.53.
