After Ollie Robinson's England debut five years ago I said he was the most natural bowler I have seen.
A lot has gone under the bridge since – he was dropped, recalled, dropped again and is now back - but nothing has changed my mind on that.
Using the word robotic to describe him may give the wrong impression. It is a compliment.
Australia's great bowler Glenn McGrath was like that. Everything was utterly rhythmical, repetitive and perfectly grooved.
Robinson is the same.
