But this season, as the captain of Sussex, Robinson took 18 wickets in the ongoing County Championship, making him impossible to overlook.<\/p>\n<p>With Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse unavailable to play the first home Test against New Zealand on Thursday at Lord\u2019s, Robinson was given the new ball. He had to prove himself again, with the added pressure of defending England\u2019s humbling first innings total of 140.<\/p>\n<p>It turned into a dream comeback. He dismissed Devon Conway with his third ball, Kane Williamson with his fifth, and Rachin Ravindra with his sixth in a three-wicket first over. The Lord\u2019s crowd was chanting his name before it was completed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first over I couldn\u2019t feel my legs; I was so nervous,\u201d Robinson told the        <i>BBC<\/i>. \u201cTo get the first wicket, the emotion coming was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He told broadcaster        <i>Sky Sports<\/i>, \u201cIt was so loud.

New Zealand was staggering at 61-6, and England was on top after day one.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson didn\u2019t finish his previous Test in February 2024 because of a back injury against India in Ranchi. That same month, New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson also hurt his back against South Africa in Mount Maunganui.<\/p>\n<p>Jamieson\u2019s third stress fracture in three seasons forced him into a long, cautious recovery that culminated in his Test comeback on Thursday. He took 5-62, his first Test five-for in five years, and would have been the day\u2019s star until Robinson got the ball in his right hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey bowled so well, we knew we had to follow suit,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cBoth teams hit the stumps a lot, so credit to both teams.
