Harry Trott


George Henry Stevens Harry Trott was an Australian Test cricketer who playedTest matches as an allrounder between 1888 and 1898. Although Trott was a versatile batsman, spin bowler and outstanding fielder, ...160it is as a captain that he is best remembered, an understanding judge of human nature. After a period of some instability and ill discipline in Australian cricket, he was the first in a succession of assertive Australian captains that included Joe Darling, Monty Noble and Clem Hill, who restored the prestige of the Test team. Respected by teammates and opponents alike for his cricketing judgement, he was quick to pick up a weakness in opponents. A righthand batsman, Trott was known for his sound defence and vigorous hitting. His slow leg spin bowling was often able to deceive batsmen through subtle variations of pace and flight, but allowed opposition batsmen to score quickly.
