Jonathan Trott, England's meticulous planner, announces his retirement four months

Didn't have a long enough career at the top to be described as great - very good I'll concede, but he's no Graeme Fowler

Very good player but I can name 4 players better than him that played since Gooch retired in Thorpe, Pietersen, Cook and Root so not sure he goes down as one of our great players.

International Captain
Could also make a case that Alec Stewart was better. His record as a non keeping opener was exceptional for his era and he was certainly a more destructive batsman than Trott when in full flow.

Yeah you would easily have his career below those 4 but he was a huge part of the best England team for decades. In a similar way to Swann, he briefly filled a role that has pretty much always been a problem position for England for most of the time I have been watching cricket.

I hope his international career doesn’t end up being defined by the way it ended. Was a top player.
