In a unique turn of events in the ongoing Day-Night Ashes Test between Australia and England in Adelaide, England's quickest Ollie Robinson was seen converting to spin. The switch though did not yield any results for his side, but it did manage to generate buzz online, as videos of his off-spin bowling flooded the social media platform.
The incident happened on the fourth day in Australia's second innings when the hosts took full control of the proceedings.

Meanwhile, England got off to a great start to the day after resuming with an overnight score of 45/1. Stuart Broad and James Anderson provided early breakthrough for the tourists but a solid 89-run partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head helped the hosts regain control.
Both the batsmen completed their respective half-centuries before getting out.
After his dismissal Australia switched gears and ran to 230–9, before Steve Smith signaled his boys to set England a mammoth target of 468.
Among the English bowlers, Robinson, captain Joe Root and David Malan took two wickets each. Broad and Anderson shared a wicket each.
