Trott's dream comes true

ATP, London
Jonathan Trott said he'd exceeded his own expectations after making a century on Test debut as England strengthened their grip on the Ashes finale atThe Oval.
Trott's 119 was the cornerstone of England's second innings 373 for nine declared on Saturday's third day of a fifth Test where a win would see the hosts regain the Ashes from Australia with a 2-1 series triumph.
Australia, left needing to make a record 546 for victory, were 80 without loss at stumps.
South Africa bom Trott, who made 41 in the first innings, had been thrown in at the deep end by the England selectors after coming in for the dropped Ravi Bopara.
But the 28-year-old responded to the pressure in superb style and shared a valuable partnership of 118 ith England captain Andrew Strauss after England had been 39 for three when the Warwickshire batsman came to the crease.
"At the start of the game the win was the most important thing and it still is," Trott, the 18th England batsman to make a century on debut, told reporters after stumps.
"A personal achievement was an added
bonus. I like to think I have contributed and we will have a good day tomorrow (Sunday)".
TYott reinforced his case for a Test call ahead of last week's squad announcement with 121 for Warwickshire, whose cricket director Ashley Giles is also an England selector, against Nottinghamshire.
That was his fourth first-class hundred of the season and took his overall tally to 1,046 runs at an average of80.46.
But he said a big plus in his innings on Saturday had been the form of the England batsmen around him, with the likes of the free scoring Graeme Swann (63) doing their best to ease the pressure.
"The guys coming in made it a lot easier for me, they played their natural games. I just ground it out. It wasn't easy but I stuck in there,” Trott said.
Trott had previously played international cricket at T\venty20 level for England two years ago without much success.
However, he returned to county cricket determined to up his game.
"I worked with Ashley Giles to get my game in shape. I tried to be consistent in county cricket and knock on the door so I was in the best form and in the best mental state to succeed (atTest level). "
Trott added: "I'm truly honoured to be
