England-Australia matches should not be overdone, says Jonathan Trott – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576, the England batsman, feels that the competition between England and Australia is extremely prestigious and the authorities must make sure that the fans do not lose interest in the most traditional rivalry of the game.
The cricketers from both the nations give more importance to the Ashes than any other event and England is currently holding the illustrious trophy after defeating the Kangaroos in 2010-11 at their own backyard.
The two teams will be up against each other later this month in a five-match One Day International series, which makes Trott think that the organizers are overdoing it and a side should not visit the same country more than once in four years.
The 31-year-old fears that the fans will not be following Australia-England matches in the coming years with the same intensity.
"England-Australia is a special tradition and rivalry and it definitely needs looking after. It mustn't be overplayed or overdone and we all have to be careful about that. You want it to be special. England used to play Australia at home every four
years, it was in the books and people had years look forward to it,” Trott said.
The top-order batsman made his way to international cricket during the Ashes 2009 and since then he has been an integral part of the English side in Tests as well as in the 50-overs format. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 born cricketer has so far played 31 Tests,
44 ODIs and seven T20s for his adopted country and has already scored more than four thousand runs at the world-stage.
Trott did exceedingly well in the previous Ashes and helped his team win the series’ both the times.
The right-hander understands that the cricket boards have to think long-term and the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2015, which will be held in Australia and
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 mutually.
“I know this series is happening because there's a triangular series in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 before the 2015 World Cup, to get used to the conditions. It shows the importance the ECB place on the 2015 World Cup,” he added.
