 The authoritative cricket journal Wisden Cricketers ' Almanack , in an obituary , wrote " Australia has produced greater cricketers than Harry Trott , but in his day he held a place in the front rank of the world 's famous players . He was a first @-@ rate bat , a fine field at point , and his leg breaks made him a very effective change bowler . " As a batsman , Trott scored his runs mostly in front the wicket . He often lifted his on @-@ drives and was an exponent of the late cut . George Giffen said of Trott , " On a good wicket , I have seen Harry Trott adopt forcing tactics worthy of the big hitter , and in the very next match play keeps on a difficult pitch with wonderful skill . " Wisden Cricketers ' Almanack described Trott as " one of the soundest [ Australian batsman ] , combining as he does vigorous hitting with a strong , watchful defence " .
