I always feel sorry for Trott.He is doing very well for ENG still receiving lots of criticism and became the centre point of many jokes even though having an avg of 55 and a SR of 77.He is not a huge six hitter like Gayle but keeps rotating the strike and getting the odd boundaries through proper cricket shots only.Not giving his wicket away after well set and likes to carry on as much as possible.A player like Trott was much needed for a team like WI having Gayles and Pollards but not having someone who can always keep one end stable.
Once again SA has blundered in the last stages of a major tournament. When the conditions were suiting swing conditions, they should have adopted a cautious approach to secure some wickets to launch at a later stage. But that didn't happen. They just played poor cricket in the initial 20 overs and paid the price. If the cloudly, gloomy conditions persist, it will be advantage to England whoever they play in the final.

First we have to beat Srilanka today. Do not take anything for granted. Cricket is full of surprises.
