The bimbling idiot BJ has now waded into the argument as well.
Some people cant help themselves. The culture secretary has got involved as well for no reason. Its an ECB matter, they have decided to suspended him, it will be a one match ban as everyone moves forward.
There is the possibility that Robinson may never play another test, unless players get injured.
Would be a shame, but the ECB should have done their due diligence before this, and while not equally to blame (they didn't tell him to post those tweets), they are not blameless in this instance.

Craig Overton will be his likely replacement in the next test, not sure how the ECB can explain that one given the Robinson suspension.Would be a shame, but the ECB should have done their due diligence before this, and while not equally to blame (they didn't tell him to post those tweets), they are not blameless in this instance.

At the end of the day the ECB dropped the ball.

The wheels appear to be coming off.

Two things:
1. England traditionally lose the first test of the bloody summer at Lords. I would much rather we didn’t. A draw is always better than a loss, no matter how boring it is.
2. The ECB once again showing they are prats. You get used to it after a while, so that is no longer shocks you.

Who are the victims that Mark Ramprakash is referring to?

Ffs, as ever these days this has been turned up to eleven and completely blown out of all proportion.
Ollie Robinson posted some offensive tweets when he was a kid and not yet a full England cricketer. He has apologised for this and received a one match ban which is reasonable. Why are some people still out for blood on this then? Ramps and Michael Carberry have already being getting involved.
It really pissed me off especially as it overshadowed the first Test the TMS feed was full of loaded posts about him which were of no relevance to the match.

Agree with every word of that.Syed says had the ECD known about the tweets "he would not have been eligible for selection in the first place."
That's not necessarily true. Given this issue had already been addressed, they could simply have actively managed the situation with an appropriate statement in advance.
As it is they've got a mini-crisis on their hands - they really need to up their news management game.
