Australian born, Albert Trott played for Victoria and Middlesex between 1892 and 1910. He is one of few players to have played for both Australia, 3 Tests and England, 2 Tests. He famously hit a ball from Monty Noble over the pavilion at Lord’s whilst playing for M.C.C. v Australians in 1899. He committed suicide by shooting himself, having been ill for some time with little hope of recovery, in 1914.
