Jonathan Trott: I must find more boundary options but when I play well, so do England Trott himself is at ease with his contributions, however, because he knows he is fulfilling the brief asked of him - to anchor the innings, and build up momentum with the more expansive strokemakers around him. He believes that when he is successful, England usually are too. "The thing that matters to me is that the team tend to win when I do well," he said. I feel confident in my ability to contribute for the team and I feel backed by the management. Alastair Cook and the coaches are clear about what my role is. So is Trott himself, describing it as: "To bat through and score as close as I can to a run a ball. There are times when it may seem I'm a bit behind the rate - but if I bat through, I won't be far away from that. Trott excelled himself against the Kiwis with a series strike rate approaching 90, and his hundred in Southampton came up almost two overs quicker than the one opposition opener Martin Guptill went on to turn into a national-record 189 not out. He added nonetheless: "We all have to improve constantly, and I have to find more boundary options."
