I'm no fan of Trott.. But I hope he comes through this..
Is he good enough not to tour with England and just play home games ?
Don't think he is..
Give Trescothic a bell lad.. He may just be able to help you out !
 
what exactly is the issue with Trott ? Just can't handle the pressure of the Ashes or something more serious and deep rooted ?
 
his rituals show signs of someone with ocd. ocd is related to anxiety, it has probably become a bit too much for him the short stuff, the pressure etc... this in turn has caused an increase in anxiety which is more underlying that then affects overall life as opposed to just cricket.

Absolutely cannot stand Clarke at the moment... Really beginning to see the real him, the personality that the other 10 lads see in the dressing room that has caused them all to hate him pretty much.

Depression it sounds like mate. Been going on for months according to management, and they've been looking after him day by day. Bloody awful. He doesn't talk much in the field or get involved, you can see why now, a few classic public symptoms.

Makes Warner look a tit, but I don't think he knew what he was saying. However, today he's come out and said he's standing by his words, which is baffling.

he suffers from stress. Which will include depression and anxiety probably.

Horrible illness made worse by knob jocker warriors like warner spouting off

Johnson has mentally scarred Trott, trust me. Like a boxer hit in the ring, his eyes have gone vacant. Never seen Trott's face like that before.

Called it too, not that I'm proud or anything, but he hasn't looked his confident self for months.
 
Wonder whats happened to him. Lets hope he pulls through in the end.

Look, if we do have to have a Pantomime Villain, it may as well be Clarke. Bit of mongrel.

Loving how you don't think the English players sledge at all... like Anderson never threatened to punch George Bailey... or your players didn't decide to drunkenly piss all over The Oval.

Jockos spot on. Games a Game Yo

Guess it's just the way it was done Macca: number 11 batter, game already won, a man on debut smirking and sledging one of the greatest swing bowlers in history...just a bit of respect and class wouldn't go astray is all.

That's all well and good, but the English are the ones who had to do exactly the same thing to win back the series. The last thing you want to do is afford Anderson any respect. You want to stir him up, get his mind off his game, he is your No. 1 Bowler.

Break his f@#k!ng arms lads.

That's the difference between us and you lot, bloody convicts :P
 
@warne888
On another note, I think it's a disgrace that @MClarke23has been fined. What about what Jimmy Anderson said to Bailey, which wasn't heard.

@warne888
Unfortunately only Clarke's reaction to Anderson's was heard live, we all heard Anderson's sledge that led to Clarke reacting !
