Always thought those interviews with sky were a bit odd.
At the time I likened it to trescothick who I recalled did something similar only to have a relapse not long afterwards.

Forget cricket - trott's got a young family to support which is far more important than any cricket game or career

Got to feel for him. Clearly his time in cricket has come to an end.

Most of us have a limited 'well' from which we can draw from. Clearly some professions draw more heavily than others. Time for something less stressful. Trott's situation is not different from thousands of others. He will get access to the best medical treatment so should be fine.

You do see this in many professions. One of the best fund managers of recent times retired at a similar age due to burn-out. Many top players in the city quit at a similar age.

The 'well' has a limit and Trott seems to have run his dry.

I do wish him the best with his next phase.

I fully agree you can only go to the well so many times before it drains.

I would also criticise the ecb for taking him to Oz in that condition and Sky for airing that interview. Struck me as making a profit of a guy who clearly wasn't right and so soon after the event!

We're behind you trotty.

In all honesty, I don't live in your country and care little for the concerns of the ECB.

But I am saddened to see this happen to Trott. Personally, I think he is world class. A serious cricketer.

I hope this turns out well for him. I think, one way or another, it will.

I think he personally would like one more shot, but I do fear that will have the same outcome.

He did well. 3 for 39 of 14 overs.


Not sure what he did with the bat though.

He got a few, not out overnight.   Gonna be a wet one tomorrow though, sustained rain for the last hour doesn't look like easing anytime soon.

Looks like he's back!
Low key return with everyone only being told about his inclusion at the toss

Hope He come back to the team as well. when I first saw him in his first ashes series, he was a tough nut to crack for Aussies.

Guess who's back. Really pleased for him. Not a terrible attack to hit a ton against either. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/engine/match/692825.html
