  • George Henry Stevens Trott (5 August 1866 – 9 November 1917) 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. Trott made his Test debut in 1888, on a tour of England, and would tour England another three times (in 1890, 1893 and 1896), scoring more than 1000 runs on each occasion. For the 1896 tour, Trott was elected captain by his teammates. Despite England winning the series two Tests to one and retaining The Ashes, Trott's ability as a captain was highly regarded. In the return series in Australia during the 1897–98 season, Trott's team was more successful, winning the five-Test series 4–1 and regaining The Ashes. At a time when the federation of the Australian colonies was under discussion, the victory saw Trott praised as a "national institution" and his team as having "done more for the federation of Australian hearts than all the big delegates put together". A severe mental illness abruptly ended Trott's Test career at the age of 31. After a series of seizures in 1898, he suffered from insomnia, apathy, and memory loss. Failing to recover lucidity, he was committed to a psychiatric hospital for over a year. After he was discharged, he eventually returned to cricket, and continued to play for his state, Victoria, and club, South Melbourne, into his forties. After his retirement, Trott served as a selector for Victoria for a number of years. Outside of cricket, he worked as a postman and mail sorter. He died of cancer in 1917, aged 51. (en)
  • George Henry Stevens «Harry» Trott (5 de agosto de 1866-10 de noviembre de 1917) fue un jugador de críquet australiano que jugó veinticuatro partidos de prueba como all-rounder entre 1888 y 1898. Notable por ser un bateador versátil, jugador de bolos de giro y jardinero excepcional, «... se le recuerda mejor por ser un capitán y juez comprensivo de la naturaleza humana».​ Después de un periodo de crisis disciplinaria en el críquet australiano, Trott fue el primero de una sucesión de capitanes australianos asertivos que incluyó a , y , responsables de devolverle prestigio al equipo de pruebas. Trott era respetado por compañeros y adversarios por igual por su capacidad analítica en cada partido, ya que era capaz de detectar la debilidad del oponente con rapidez. Era un bateador diestro, conocido por su defensa sólida y su bateo vigoroso. Trott comenzó su trayectoria en el críquet en 1888 en una gira por Inglaterra, país que habría de visitar en otras tres ocasiones (1890, 1893 y 1896), anotando más de 1000 carreras cada uno de esos años. En la gira de 1896, fue elegido como capitán por sus compañeros de equipo. Pese a que Inglaterra ganó la serie The Ashes y retuvo el título, la habilidad de Trott como capitán fue notable durante el transcurso de la serie. En la serie de vuelta efectuada en Australia durante la temporada 1897-98, el equipo de Trott tuvo más éxito y ganó la serie de cinco pruebas con un marcador de 4-1. En ese entonces la estaba en una cierta inestabilidad, por lo que la victoria del equipo de críquet hizo que Trott fuera catalogado como una «institución nacional» y su equipo distinguido por haber «hecho más por la federación de corazones australianos que todos los grandes delegados juntos».​ Una enfermedad mental grave terminó abruptamente con su carrera en partidos de prueba cuando tenía 31 años de edad. Agobiado por una serie de ataques en 1898, sufrió de insomnio, apatía y pérdida de memoria. Incapaz de recuperar la lucidez, fue internado en un hospital psiquiátrico durante más de un año. Después de que fue dado de alta, no obstante, regresó al críquet y continuó jugando para el club , de su natal Victoria. Tras retirarse, Trott trabajó como seleccionador de Victoria por algunos años. Aparte del críquet, trabajó como cartero y correo clasificador. Murió de cáncer en 1917, a los 51 años de edad. (es)
