*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

Nah, not when they've arguably compromised their batting to prevent having to bowl him. The whole point of Woakes playing was so that Trott didn't have to bowl if Kerrigan had a meltdown and we needed more seam options.
Yeah, but that's "don't bowl Trott because you've picked five bowlers", not "don't bowl Trott because you've picked two spinners". :p

International Coach
I often wonder if Trott was a quicker bowler in his youth. When I first heard of the guy, way back before he made his international debut, I was told he was a "batting allrounder". He seems to vaguely know what he's doing too and actually has some pretty useful First Class and List A figures - mostly accumulated when he was younger - so I do wonder whether he was more a mid to high 120s type bowler when he was younger, or if he was just an young-Ian-Bell type who was accurate and swung it both ways at pretty much this pace.
he would've been one of those pricks who made a ton and took 7+ every match in grade cricket

yessssssss
