Australian batsman David Warner believes that his team has got the measure of England batsmen Jonathan Trott, saying that they have sniffed out the 'weakness' in Trott's batting, which showed no signs of abating during the third day of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba.
England's number three batsman Trott was a disappointment in the year's first Ashes, averaging under 30 during the team's 3-0 triumph at home, with the lean patch continuing on Saturday as Mitchell Johnson bounced him out for the second time in the game.
According to Sport24, rubbing salt on Trott's wounds, Warner, who made a brisk 124 on Saturday, said that the way Trott got out on Saturday was very poor and weak, which Australia has mapped out at the moment.
Warner, who has played 26 Test less than Trott, advised the England batsman that trying to face a 150 kph short ball from Johnson that way he is playing needs to be changed and he needs to get new sledges even though he (Trott) might have probably worked hard in the nets on the short ball.
Trott, who has scored 10 and nine in the match, had a narrow escape against Johnson earlier on Saturday when his top-edged pull landed safely between two fielders, underlining his discomfort against the bounce, the report added.
