Over and Out is the remarkable story of a neglected cricket hero.
Albert Trott was good enough to play for Australia and England, but
at the height of his powers no Test team would pick him. He brought
an Ashes series to life by taking 8-43 on debut and his batting
average for Australia was 102.5. This was the man who cleared the
Lord's pavilion with the biggest of hits. Over and Out celebrates
his exploits on the field, which for far too long have been hidden
by the taboo of suicide. It also addresses the mystery of Albert
Trott, how he responded to the external forces that fashioned his
life and ultimately why he did what he did. From fame to broke and
broken, from Melbourne to Middlesex his story is compelling. While
lesser men have found their place within the cricketing pantheon,
it has been the fate of 'Dear Trotty' to be excluded, the permanent
outsider. There is no portrait of Albert Trott in the Long Room in
the Lord's pavilion. It is time for him to take up his rightful
place in the history of the game.
