Micky Authur said in a cricinfo webcast that he felt Trott had the potential to play for RSA but maybe not for another few years. Good in any case to see players wanting to play test cricket rather than become a mickey mouse specialist.

Considering he's already 28 it's rather potty to be talking about his potential in a few years.

Plus now it'd be 4 years til he could turn out for SA anyway.

For 4 years, yes. Forever? No.

It's why Tahir wasn't eligible for the yarps as soon as he got his passport, he'd played for Pakistan A in 2005, so had to wait until April this year to become available for SA. EDIT: Actually, Trott was already committed to us because he'd played those 2020 internationals a couple of years back. Last edited by BoyBrumby; 23-08-2009 at 04:46 AM. |

Nope, Kepler Wessels played for two countries.. Trott won't play for SA, although I was half hoping Pietersen might one day after his fallout with the ECB, and judging by the fact that whenever he isn't playing for England he seems to be in Durban..

The question one has to ask is, is it time to build a side, or as Vaughan put it an 'empire', or is it time to pick the best side to tour SA. If Collingwood is picked, it wouldn't be the worst decision, but if he's not I would be more impressed because it suggests that the selectors have put the focus on the future. Ideally, I'd like to see him replaced by someone who isn't Bell but theres not very many options here. Perhaps Joyce would make more sense?
