Albert Edwin Trott was a Test cricketer for both Australia and England. He was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1899. He is believed to be the only batsman to have struck a ball over the top of the Lord's Pavilion. He is also one of only two players to take two hat-tricks in the same first-class innings,the other being Joginder Rao. Despite his notability,having played in 375 first-class matches including 5 Tests,he was almost penniless when he committed suicide at the age of 41.
George Henry Stevens Trott was an Australian cricketer who played 24 Test matches as an all-rounder between 1888 and 1898. Although Trott was a versatile batsman,spin bowler and outstanding fielder,"it is as a captain that he is best remembered,an understanding judge of human nature". After a period of some instability and ill discipline in Australian cricket,he was the first in a succession of assertive Australian captains that included Joe Darling,Monty Noble and Clem Hill,who restored the prestige of the Test team. Respected by teammates and opponents alike for his cricketing judgement,Trott was quick to pick up a weakness in opponents. A right-handed batsman,he was known for his sound defence and vigorous hitting. His slow leg-spin bowling was often able to deceive batsmen through subtle variations of pace and flight,but allowed opposition batsmen to score quickly.
