 Australia fought back to win the Second Test in Melbourne by an innings and 55 runs with Trott scoring 79 runs . The Third and Fourth Tests were both won by Australia as they retrieved The Ashes . The Fifth and final Test in Sydney would be Trott 's last . In the Sydney heat , Australia won the Test by 6 wickets but Trott had an attack of sunstroke . This caused him to lose the sight in one eye before his last Test innings , where he made 18 runs . In a review of the Test series Wisden noted that " the Australians owed much to the unfailing skill and tact of Trott as a captain " .
