Wtf trott? Lidded by Franklin?
OMG HE HIT HIM IN THE HEAD.
This is the best day ever.
Franklin the catalyst for PEWS succumbing to the Fast Bowlers Club
It's difficult to argue against his average of 50, but to your point a SR <75 in this era is substandard. Perhaps the English selectors want him to play that sheet anchor role to compliment their stroke-makers in the middle order.
I can't help think having both Cook and Trott the your top 3 will limit England's ability for really big scores.

The only non-surprising thing about that lidding of Trott was umpire S Ravi getting it wrong. Again.
^ What happened? Did you break up with Skippy? ;)
I don't have an issue with his overall strike rate, especially given his average. However, today has been pretty frustrating for me. Every over in the lead up to the wicket Bell was charging down the pitch, searching for the big shot, while Trott couldn't get a move along. Given Bell was clearly batting better, Trott should've taken it on himself to take the pressure off Bell by increasing his scoring rate IMO.
$100 on false dawn. PEWS to sucide in a couple of games time.
