You write some shit on here, but this takes the cake.

He didnt look too stressed giving Watson a send off a couple of days ago.
He was pretty chirpy over in England aswell.
Has a couple of innings where he craps his dacks against MJ and he is on the next plane home.
If he is going to give out lip he has to cop some in return

What is with all this love for Jordan Silk? Played less that 1 full sheild season and apparently he is the next Ricky Ponting. Let him settle at first class level before throwimg in into international cricket.

For once we haven't made a baffling selection in the first test of the series in regards to our slow bowling option and players in form were picked. It made a massive difference. The top order is still a worry for mine as Rogers looks out of his depth. They should stick with him this series to develop a sense of team but that should be all for Rogers.

After that we can have a look at Faulkner and push Watson back up to opening. That will give us multiple bowling options so we don't have to use Siddle, MJ and Harris as workhorses. If we can win the series early, bring back the rotation policy for the bowlers and give them a rest especially Harris with his track record, step up Messrs Pattinson, Bird and Starc depending on who misses.

In the future I see Jordan Silk as a top order hope but probably not for a couple of years. Let him develop at the Tigers. He has shown already he can build an innings.

Very valid points.
I would look at changing the bowling attack for Adelaide though, if the pitch is a disgrace like it has been for the shield there is no point wasting the quicks, id play another spinner and rest Harris or Siddle and get them cherry ripe for Perth

Bollocks to that. We need to win the series to take the Ashes. If you want the Poms to score 500 then that approach would ensure that happens.

He's obviously struggling with some sort of mental health ( stress, anxiety) issue.

Perhaps if he was OK then he would have cracked a couple of decent scores...

I wish him all the best...

I wish him all the best as well but obviously being a proffesional sportsmen his going to be open to speculation and innuendo.

As others have said he was pretty comfortable dishing out the abuse even in this test.

Unfortunately for Trott from the outside it definatly looks like he has taken a soft option and unfortunately for him I think his reputation will be severely tarnished in oz and no doubt if he comes back at here at some stage will cop a fair bit of stick, especially if things don't go well for him again.

I would be interested to hear the coaching panels thoughts on bringing a guy out to oz who was having personal issues especially considering this was always going to be a long (time frame), hard yakka, agressive, hot trip
