That's the point, everyone seems to be under the impression that Trott is fully aware of what he's suffering from. From the interview I saw and the terminology used when he left the tour, I think he's in denial that he has a mental issue and is having trouble confronting it. It's a lot easier for him to say it's 'burn out' than confront a more difficult truth.

Meanwhile there is a World Cup going on - with England involved in another warm up game where India made 178 - 4 and England
are currently 51-1 6 overs
Ireland 45-0 needing another 79 off 85 balls v UAE

[manic-road]

And England ended up losing yet another war up game.

[PaulWinch again]

Our side is just completely wrong and it should have dawned on the management by now, we've lost something like 6 out of 7. We need a radical shake up.
