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.

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.

He was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame on 26 February 2008.
