You get one per innings so use it wellbeamers are a legitimate tactic.

Usually you can manage to hit Trott on his pads when he's past 200.

Watching Finn was just thinking back to when Jason Gillespie made a double ton for the Aussies. What a bad day of cricket that must have been, watching a non-batsman bat all day!Appreciate the job Finn's doing here but hope he doesn't stop me watching a decent innings from KP or Bell, etc.
Trott off to a flyer in this innings so far. S/R over 100 at the moment. Getting close to NZ thinking on a different line to Trott.

Do you not think it's worth trying early in his innings though ? Possibility of over-balancing and just missing one that tails back in before he gets set. I think it's a worthwhile ploy but I think you have to be flexible in re-assessing that plan quite early if Trott looks in good touch.
Like Finn's positive approach now.

Wagner bowls two gems and four pies every over.
He might have a 4fer in the first innings but he keeps proving he's no Wheeler, and there's several right armers who should be ahead of him too.
In saying that this pitch is Napier-esque and you'd have to be Wasim Akram to have any chance bowling here. He's earned himself a run in Wellington.

Reckon the best way to get Trott early is to bring one back into him before his feet are going.
Bowling on his pads tho is feeding a strength, IMHO.

Which will inevitably result in bowling a few on the pads. You can't really have one without the other.

It is a risky ploy by bowling straight to him as it can enable him to get off to a flyer because it is an area where he is so strong, but a strength can always be a weakness especially early in an innings where the feet aren't moving properly and the balance may not be perfect. Once set you certainly cannot afford to be too straight to Jonathan Trott as he rarely misses out through the legside.

Twas two days I believe.

Well maybe a few, but I mean starting from outside off and bringing it back in, not bowling on his pads and swinging it wider yet.
Obviously Wagner's disadvantaged by being a cackhander in this regard.

Yes I meant to say for at least a full day's cricket. Ouch, must have been painful!
