Australia legend Ricky Ponting has hit back against Ollie Robinson after the former captain's name was dragged into an Ashes sledging debate during the first Test at Edgbaston.
Robinson was questioned about the send-off of Usman Khawaja during Australia's two-wicket win in Birmingham.
Following the incident, the England pacer had singled out Ricky Ponting for his own sledging during Ashes series when defending the send-off.

“We’ve all seen Ricky Ponting and other Aussies do the same to us, and just because the shoe is on the other foot it’s not received well,”Robinson had said after being asked about his run-in with the Australian opener.
The former Australia captain has given a fitting reply to the right-arm pacer in response to his comments and actions.
“As I said after Ollie Robinson said what he said, this England cricket team hasn’t played against Australia and they’ll find out pretty quickly what playing Ashes cricket and playing against a good Australian cricket team is all about,” Ricky Ponting told The ICC Review podcast.
“And if Ollie Robinson hasn’t learned that already after last week, then he’s a slow learner,” he added.
