JONATHAN Trott claims it was just a perception that he failed to handle the short ball during the last Ashes series.
Attack leader Ryan Harris has made a blunt assessment of the way the Australians unsettled Trott in England, restricting him to a series average of just 29.
However the former South African under 19 batsman insists his lack of productivity was due to technical flaws.
"I think that is part of Test cricket. People are going to bowl short balls and yorkers and all sorts to try to get you out," Trott said in Hobart yesterday as England prepared for the match against Australia A, beginning tomorrow (Wednesday).

"I got out to full balls a lot more than short balls. It's one of the things people's perception is. Everyone is entitled to their own perception.
"I know what I've got to focus on this series and what I did when we came here [last time].
"Ryan Harris played then, a pretty similar bowling attack then ... I have got good memories of being here so I wouldn't say I'm particularly worried about anything specifically delivery-wise, it's more about me getting my game in good nick and feeling good."
After a debut century during the last Test at The Oval in 2009 which won England the Ashes, Trott averaged 89 on his previous tour of Australia three years ago as the touring batsmen filled their boots.
It was the first Ashes loss to England in Australia for 24 years.
Trott believes he has identified the reasons why he did not have the same significant impact during the most recent series in England earlier this year.
"I got myself out a few times and first Test at Trent Bridge I got a weird review. I'm still scratching my head about that," he said.
"I technically had a few flaws which I have hopefully ironed out.
"To look back at the summer and be disappointed would be foolish because we won the series 3-0.
"Just because I averaged 30 (29) doesn't make it a huge train smash. I still had some hands in some important partnerships and it was an exciting and eventful series."
Trott was also unconcerned about the likely recall of Mitchell Johnson, who worked the batsman over with short bowling during the one-day series that followed the Ashes.
"I wouldn't say blows, he got me out once, and he bowled really well," said Trott.
"That's what fast bowlers do. There's nothing new to that. It's not a new thing in cricket.
"Again I probably created my own downfall in the way I was playing and technically probably wasn't doing what I normally do.
"I created that scenario myself, not so much the Australians.
"I think Mitch is bowling really well. He has gone away and worked really hard on his game. That's good to see from a player."
