Overview
- Robinson moved past Jasprit Bumrah after Sunday's four-wicket burst at Lord's that gave him 4/24 in Pakistan’s second innings and 8/35 in the match.
- His career figures now read 23 Tests, 99 wickets and a bowling average of 19.53, which places him top on lists that require at least 20 Tests.
- The comparison with Bumrah, who has 234 wickets from 52 Tests at a 19.79 average, is tempered by volume and venue differences because Bumrah compiled his numbers across many countries.
- England secured a 194-run win at Lord's, with Robinson’s late spell ending a 97-run stand and effectively deciding the match.
- Historically the placing is notable because the minimum-20-Test filter excludes many early-era outliers, but Robinson must reach 100 wickets and sustain form in varied conditions to show the ranking will hold.
