Steve James in the Sunday Telegraph says that in his long-range forecast for his Ashes XI last June, he did not include Jonathan Trott. He still winces at the thought.
In truth it was an easy mistake to make, and I was not alone in doing so. Trott is quite simply the most underestimated and understated batsman in international cricket. His Test record is now astoundingly good; an average of 64 after 17 Tests, with five centuries and five fifties. He’s as good a converter as Dan Carter. But he’ll never grab the same sort of headlines
