Jonathan Trott’s superb concentration and insatiable appetite for batting have made him England’s most consistent No 3 since Wally Hammond writes Simon Hughes in the Daily Telegraph. The No. 3 spot was a major problem for England for a decade, but with his successes, as seen during the Ashes, Trott has solved the problem with a simple philosophy, as he explains to Hughes.
“Batting No 3 you’ve got to expect anything so you can’t be surprised by anything. You just go with it. I don’t think about my innings or going out to bat until I’m actually doing it.
"You can work yourself up in the dressing room. Imagining things are there that they’re not. You have to back yourself and trust your instinct.”
