Trott aiming to make impact down under
England batsman Jonathan Trott says he is hoping to have a big impact during the Ashes this winter and will not rise to any war of words.
Trott has already been the subject of criticism in Australia due to the fact that he was born in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 and due to his antics at the crease. Trott has a routine that eats time out of the game but he's said he will not change for anyone.
England are heading to the Ashes this winter with a better chance of winning in Australia than ever before. They have not beaten the Australians in Australia for just under three decades.
Trott has all of the right skills and attributes to do well during his time on the fast and flat Australian pitches. There is too much experience in the England dressing room for any player to be bothered by the off field press that will be created before the series.
Skills and attributes
Trott has a very good temperament in the game and this could be one of the reasons that the Australians have already picked him out as a target. Having a calm player at the crease is vital to seeing off intense spells of pressure during a long Test match.
Trott deals with pressure in his own way and despite his antics at the crease, he finds a way to score runs and plays conventional cricket shots when he does so. This allows him to make big scores and he already has a higher Test score than Alastair Cook or Kevin Pietersen.
Trott is one of the best close fielders in the England side. England have some very tall fast bowlers and his catching will go a long way towards England retaining the Ashes if they win in Australia. The ball will bounce up off of hard tracks and Trott will be in and around the bat to take any chances.
He said: "I have never been to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 but I am going there with my eyes wide open and I am expecting it to be pretty full on. The Australians are a team who put a lot of pressure on you as a player both on and off the pitch. Some people like it and others don't."
Won't be bothered
There are England players that will not be bothered in the slightest by any war of words. This is not the first time that some of the squad will have played Australia and they will be experienced in all the various forms of sledging that appear when the two countries play each other.
The Australian press can sometimes be very full-on where it is not appropriate but this will inspire players in the team as opposed to putting them off of their game.
It's also important to remember that England also have players who can give a bit back and this will be important as the team will need to get stuck in during the Ashes.
Trott added: "You have to be able to thrive on it because you are setting yourself up to fail otherwise — remember this is Test cricket not garden cricket."
Betting advice
There is still a lot of time before now and the first Ashes Test match in Brisbane. Back off from betting at the moment because there are still player selection issues with England and Australia. England also have one more Test match to play against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and Australia have to tour India this autumn.
Wait until after this http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 tour and judge the two teams. Look around for the best odds but it's likely England will be the better option.
