England top-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 by winning the second Test, which gets underway in Mumbai on Friday, November 23, 2012.
The English batsmen were miserably exposed against the quality spin bowling produced by the Indian spin duo of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228. Left-arm spinner Ojha scythed through the England batting line-up returning with startling figures of 5 for 45, as the tourists were bundled out for just 191 in their first innings.
Forced to follow on, the visiting batsmen, barring skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Orissa-c828 left-armer claiming a four-wicket haul.
While speaking to media reporters after a training session in Mumbai today, the experienced England batsman urged his teammates to strike early in Mumbai, if they were to make a comeback into the series.
“I think it will be good to strike early and go to Kolkata 1-1,” said Trott who scored 0 and 17 in the lost first Test.
“It’s very important that we have that mindset. We need to produce on the field. We are looking forward to Friday. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to get 1-1," the South Africa-born English cricketer added further.
The wicket at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai traditionally assists spinners and is expected to offer more turn than the one at Motera. However, Trott expects a better outing in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 for the tourists.
“I think the conditions are bit different here but it will work in both the team's favour with regards to bounce and turn,” said the England batsman.
“The ball is coming on fine. There is a little more bounce. Ahmedabad was low and slow but here you will find bounce a bit more. Hopefully, our seamers can exploit that,” the right-handed batsman went on to add.
Trott, a veteran of 35 Tests and 54 One Day Internationals, also had a word of praise for young Indian batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CA-Pujara-c1209 for his unbeaten double century in the first innings in Ahmedabad saying such performances help a side win matches.
