Sam Robson - ketchim - 06-21-2014
In the middle of 2013, when England were on their way to winning another Ashes series and had what
appeared to be a settled top three, the closely guarded thoughts of Sam Robson :

It had been thought that Robson - an opener much in the style of Mike Atherton -
would qualify for England in 2014. But when Middlesex re-examined the situation they
discovered he had completed the requisite residency period :

Prasad to Robson, 2 runs, there it is, Test match hundred for Sam Robson,
pitched up well wide of the stumps and he reaches out to carve a couple in front of deep cover
