Back injury.
Thank goodness his fragility was exposed in a gentle friendly warm up
match. If he had pulled up during a tough test match it would
certainly have been worse thing to happen.

Oh dear, Lazarus exposes his ignorance most horribly . . If you want someone to bowl flat out in a Test you need a warm up match which allows you to bowl flat out against decent opposition It is no good bowling less than flat out in a warm up and then bowling flat out in a Test which exposes any fitness problems. .

Since his lack of fitness WAS exposed in the warm-up match, it would
seem that the match wasn't as "gentle" as all that. It seems to be the
same back issue that he had in Australia, which is rather worrying.
Robinson's doubtful fitness makes the decision to take neither Anderson
nor Broad on the tour look even more ill-advised.

England have had problems with fragile fast bowlers. When I done ECB
coaching there was a lot of focus on 'mixed actions' and how to spot
it and correct it. This was all about preventing back injuries but the
bowlers who have a good straight action either side or front on are
still getting injured.

The only sport that it is advisable to practice flat out is motor
sports. I'm sure you understand why that is and why fast bowlers and
raptors and the big cats and many other predators don't practice flat
out..

I'm sure Henderson is incapable of understanding why and I think it
would be rude and patronising to explain to him.

I read just there that Robinson hurt his back fielding on the
boundary. His foot wedged in the ground and he got a back spasm
afterwards.
Maybe more poor luck than poor fitness.

It might be if England could be persuaded to play him, but the rumours
are that the England attack will be Woakes, Overton, Wood and Leach,
probably with a few overs from Stokes.

lets hope it doesnt become a regular thing like pucks concussion.
I agree they should have taken Broad, he didnt have much of a workout
in OZ so he would still be pretty fresh. Although I think last time we played in
Antigua, we had both Anderson and Broad and still got thrashed,
our batters undone by roach and holder, while Moeen was our best
bowler.

You miss the point. An undemanding game of cricket is likely not to show up a weakness, a demanding game will be likely to up a weakness.
