Jonathan Trott has left the #Ashes tour as he is suffering with a stress related illness #bbcsport

Adam Mountford ‏@tmsproducer 4m
ECB say Trott will take a break from cricket for the forseeable future and will take no futher part in the #ashes tour


Adam Mountford ‏@tmsproducer 3m
Trott says "I don't feel it is right that I'm playing knowing that I am not 100% and I cannot operate at the level I have done in the past"

 

[Maximas]

Poor bloke, wish him all the best

 

[Red]

Sad to see stuff like this. Wish him all the best.

 

[ganeshran]

This sucks. Hope this isnt a Trescothik like end to Trott's international career.

 

[ganeshran]

Wonder if the sledging and post match conference comments had something to do with it.

Stress related.

I know this isn't funny, but I first read this as "Strauss related".

 

[Dan]

By the sounds of things he's been managing it for a while (i.e. is not a response to the sledging/Mitch Johnson bouncers). Hope he can work through it, its the type of thing nobody would wish another to go through.

I doubt the sledging from the Australians had much to do with it, but I'd say Cook calling Warner's comments disrespectful were related to it.

Poor bloke though, hope everything gets worked out for him. Of the English batsmen at home, who would be on the plane to fill in the spot in the squad for the rest of the tour?

 

[Spark]

Wow. Wish him all the best.

EDIT: England have confirmed that Warner's comments had nothing to do with it, no one outside the England set-up had any idea.

James Taylor probably.

 

[ajdude]

yeah that's awful, poor bloke.

unfortunately **** like this is going to keep popping up though.

 

[Red]

Kinda makes you think that Warner's comments were a bit over the top- esp being made in a press conference and questioning a guy's courage in that format. To say it on the field is one thing, but to say it to the media is a bit low imo. And tbf, I don't think someone with 4000 test runs should have their courage questioned.

Also reminded me of Albert Trott, who was effected by "melancholia". Are they related?

And who takes Trott's spot at #3? Bell?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

So, what's people's thoughts on whether or not Warner/Australia knew something of these issues and hence that's why they were pushing it so hard.

No one, apparently.

 

[the big bambino]

Well well. Terrible news. Hope he's ok soon.

 

[ajdude]

seriously, this stuff is ****ing disgusting. **** i hate people sometimes

Warner's a dumb arse, but I'm quite confident if he knew about it, he would not have phrased the things he said the way he did
