RYAN Harris believes Australia has muddled the mind of England's batting rock Jonathan Trott and has revealed the fast bowling plans the Aussies will use to undermine him this summer.

South African-born Trott destroyed Australia in the 2010-11 Ashes Down Under, averaging 89, but was not a factor in the recent Ashes in England where he averaged 29 with no centuries.

Harris, who returns from a hamstring injury for Queensland in today's Ryobi Cup one-day match against Tasmania in Sydney, said Australia's plans for Trott worked so well that he changed his batting method.
Australia's blueprint of bouncing Trott early and then teasing him with full, wider outswingers could hardly have worked better. It is a plan the Australians will again use to torment Trott this summer.
"For some reason he changed his game, he was coming out and taking a big step towards us,'' Harris says.
"His mindset had changed and he was coming quite hard at us, whereas last time in Australia he didn't come as hard at us.
"We thought if we went a bit shorter it would work, we had a leg gully to him most times.

"We didn't actually get him there but there were so many times when he just missed the fielder by a metre or two.
"Then we would look to bowl a delivery swinging away a little bit wider which he chased because he likes to feel bat on ball early.''
Harris' career record against Trott is superb – having dismissed him five times in seven Tests – and the big-hearted Queensland fast bowler will be a key for the home side this Ashes summer.
The 34-year-old quick was ruled out for eight weeks after the winter's Ashes but he confirmed the suspicion that the hamstring injury was not as bad as that. The extended spell on the sidelines was more about Cricket Australia (CA) wanting to put him in cotton wool before the Ashes.
''It was more precautionary,'' Harris said. "Cricket Australia's thoughts were to take as long as you want to get it right, whether that was eight weeks or whether it was two weeks, I guess they were probably being more cautious.''
