Ollie Robinson believes England will "get one over" rivals Australia this summer and "give them a good hiding" in the Ashes.
Robinson made his Ashes debut in the 2021-22 series, featuring in four Tests as England were thrashed 4-0. However, they have been completely revolutionised under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, winning ten out of 12 Tests.
And with England playing a new positive and aggressive brand of cricket, Robinson believes they will regain the Ashes this summer for the first time since 2015. "When we went to Australia we weren't quite at our best," Robinson told BBC Radio Sussex.
"I really feel we could get one over them [this summer] and give them a good hiding. It's a dream come true to be involved in a home Ashes.
"It doesn't get much better than that." Robinson also believes teams will attempt to replicate England's 'Bazball' approach, given the success they have had and how much cricket fans around the world have enjoyed watching England.

"There'll come a point where other Test nations will have to try to play the way we play to compete," Robinson added. "That can only be good for the fans and good to watch, the entertainment we are producing is like nothing we have seen in Test cricket before.

Brendon McCullum and Stokesy have changed the game for us - the confidence they've given the players, the batters especially.
"I think the fans can see that the way we are going out there and trying to put on a show, almost trying to perform for people, that's the message that they're sending and we are trying to entertain them."
This year's Ashes has been squeezed into a tight 46-day window and will begin on June 16 at Edgbaston, before concluding at the Oval on July 31.
