Jonathan Trottannounced his retirement from international cricket following the series with West Indies, bringing an end to a hugely successful career which saw him rack up nine Test centuries in 52 matches, and form an integral part of three Ashes series victories. Here is how the cricketing world reacted to the news.
You can be so proud of your England career, @Trotty! It was an absolute pleasure batting at 4 behind you & batting with you! #runmachine

Wishing Trotty the very best in all he does and his cricket for the bears. Great memories of playing with him for the bears in 2007.
