It is, but it's also **** batting to succumb in such an awful manner. This is Test cricket, FFS, he didn't need to play that, same with Cook. It's the same if you put a man out for the hook, and then the batsman puts it right to him, it's brainless idiocy.
Well I guess he did stand up..
Cook was gash batting completely, and it was uncharacteristic of him, but Trott definitely has issues on the rising ball on leg stump as he lunges to the off side so yeah it looks bad but every player has a weakness, was good bowling to exploit that.
I can recommend the Toshiba 50" flatscreen, but unfortunately Bairstow is still to bat.
Case in point.
It's not, but viewing a delivery in isolation makes it much easier to come to that conclusion.
First dig you might have a point but hardly much pressure building on Trott was there.
Harris has been the best bowler on show in this series, he's incredible, if he hadn't been a late developer/crock he would have been an all-time great. Yet I'm not particularly happy the way our last two wickets have fallen to rather basic plans.
It's more to do with the tactics employed and the use of the short ball, but anyway.
Yeah but you're a ****.
Agreed that Australia are exploiting Trott's weakness of the leg side shot, but that was a bouncer you could have easily ducked. ****ed up to try and actually hit it. You settle down, then you have lots of opportunites to score and smack boundaries. Why waste your innings and jeopardize your team's position (this being the crucial innings) with an utterly ****e shot like that?
