Jonathan Trott's a well-travelled man. The South African-born batsman, now with the England Test team, owes a part of his success to New Zealand. It's easy to forget the summers he spent as an overseas professional with Otago. Andrew Alderson, in the New Zealand Herald, writes on Trott's Kiwi connections.
So the South African-born allrounder can be slotted into the 'ours' category by virtue of coming out almost four years ago. Further entrenching his Kiwi credentials are the fact his dad Ian works as the coach at Auckland's Parnell club six months of the year. Trott also has a sister living in Auckland.
