 Included in the Australian squad to tour England , Trott was selected in the team for the First Test at Lord 's . He had an inauspicious Test debut : he made a duck in the first innings and three runs in the second , and did not bowl . The Australians won the game by 62 runs , only their second Test match victory in England . However , England retained The Ashes by winning the remaining two Tests and Trott 's influence on the series was negligible : he did not pass 20 in an innings , and he failed to take a wicket . Nevertheless , his performances in the other matches of the season prompted Wisden Cricketers ' Almanack to write that he , " ... fully <unk> [ ied ] his selection by scoring the highly creditable total of 1 @,@ 212 runs , with an average of over 19 per innings " , and that his fielding was " excellent at point " . Wisden was less complimentary about his bowling : " We have no great opinion of Trott 's leg break bowling , and think it probably too slow to be effectual against good batsmen . " Trott 's opportunities were limited as his teammates Charles Turner and John Ferris , " monopolised the bowling " .
