A firestorm of sledging erupted in the first Ashes test between England and Australian, and now England batsman Jonathan Trott is heading home, citing a mental illness.
These things may be related, or they may not. But Trott’s public statement will hardly help him.
A weakness of character, Ian Chappell once said memorably, is like a weakness around off stump. Something to exploit.
However long it takes him to recover, Trott can look forward to being well exploited next time he appears at the crease.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
