England’s batsman, Jonathan Trott, claims he is successful because he keeps the game very simple
England’s batsman, Jonathan Trott, has revealed that the reason behind his amazing run of form in Test cricket is sticking to the basics and not experimenting too much.
Trott played a vital role in the Ashes 2010-11 and helped his team retain the urn in style by beating Australia 3-1 at their own backyard.
The right handed batsman has continued with his superb run of form as he struck a magnificent double hundred against Sri Lanka in the first Test of the three-match series at Cardiff.
He expressed that the secret behind his success is the fact that he keeps the game very simple, unlike some other players who try to indulge themselves too much in technicalities.
Trott said that every cricketer goes through lean patches and good forms in his career but the approach towards the game should be kept simple.
Trott said, "I wouldn't say it's anything to do with any new theories. No-one in the world has a divine right to score runs or take wickets or take catches all time and it's a difficult game at times. But it is a simple game theory-wise: a ball and a bat
and sometimes we complicate it ourselves”.
The right hander made his Test debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 during the Ashes 2009 and scored a hundred in his debut Test match.
The ongoing Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 is his 19th match and he is averaging more than 60 runs per innings with the bat, which is quite astonishing at the highest level of the sport and any batsman would be proud of these stats.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 batsman feels that those batsmen who try too many things when they are not in good nick make things worse and find themselves in a big void.
"We can sometimes be our own worst enemy. For me it's really simple, I don't try to do things out of my own bubble, I do things my own way and just try to be as effective as possible. As cricketers you can make the game more difficult for yourself and think
about the game too much,” Trott added.
