The Ashes: England batsman Jonathan Trott insists he is happy with his form
Thursday 25 July 2013 12:49, UK
England batsman Jonathan Trott is confident he will soon be back amongst the runs after watching Ian Bell and Joe Root outshine him in the first two Ashes Tests.
The DRS system has been under the spotlight, especially after the Trent Bridge Test where Australia believed Stuart Broad should have been given out but had to stand by and watch as they had used up their allocation of reviews and the England bowler refused to walk.
Trott, however is philosophical about his own DRS dismissal during that game, even though it saw him leaving the field without troubling the scorers.
"Things go full circle and come back to you. I've played enough cricket to realise that and it's important not to focus on that too much and move on," Trott said.
"I wasn't happy, I wasn't walking off smiling and clapping my hands. But it's such a long series that things like that are probably going to happen and unfortunately it happened to me.
"But we were then 11 for two so I couldn't go back to the changing room and startt hrowing my toys and being upset about it. I had to be philosophical and say, 'Crikey, hopefully you guys get all the good decisions and things go our way from now on.'
"And I managed to do that. It's important that everyone has that mindset in the team because it is quite a high pressure situation in an Ashes Test match."
When asked when how long it took him to get over the decision, Trott said: "Maybe an hour or two. Just think about it and move on. It happens.
"Maybe that's a bit of a cliched thing to say. When I was a bit younger it might have been a bit harder to take - but the more experience you gain, the more able you are to move on a bit quicker."
