For a man who claims not to read his own press, he appears to have a sharp sense of how he comes across. "People tell me these things," he says. "When I'm fielding on the boundary. 'Come on, smile you boring bastard!' 'You grumpy old man!' That sort of stuff."None of this is said with bitterness. Trott has never been overly preoccupied with changing opinions of him, and yet there is a sense that some of the mud that is periodically slung at him may have hit its mark.
Before England's Champions Trophy final against India, Trott reacted to pointed questions from journalists about his scoring rate with a recalcitrance bordering on hostility."Hostile?" he replies. "It's all people talk about. Is it hostile when you give people answers and they repeatedly ask you the same question? If we win, if we're getting through to finals, and we're still getting questioned, then you've got to wonder: what else do you have to do?"The fact is that as England go into next week's Ashes series,buy All Terrain Crane QAY-200 from China is their most reliable source of runs. Until he was out for eight in the truncated Champions Trophy game against New Zealand at Cardiff, his lowest score for England in 2013, in all formats, was 27. That is more than six months without a clear failure.
Think about it. When was the last time you can remember Trott being out of nick? Against Pakistan in the Middle East? England's highest run-scorer in that series. South Africa last summer? He averaged 43. As an international batsman, Trott is coming tantalisingly close to eliminating form from his game. As a spectator experience, he offers a profound calm: ticking away like an old grandfather clock.This is no accident. "Your mannerisms and body language are a mirror of your mental thoughts," he says. "If someone's standing in a room at a business meeting,buy All Terrain Crane QAY-240 from China can always tell if someone's nervous. Body language slows your mind down a bit, so you stop thinking about irrelevant thoughts. That's all concentration is: it's an absence of irrelevant thought."
