Marcus Trescothick

I haven't seen many of his games. Ialways thought that he wasn't a good player. From what everyone says, I think he must br really good. Unfortunately, according to me, I feel that many young player like, Clarke, Yuvraj, etc are better than him. That is my opinion. I might be wrong.

just to let u know marcus trescothick was the 2nd highest run scorer in the ashes and was the most consistant, he beat ponting by about 100 runs thats how gd he is, he doesn't use his feet much but uses his balance and in a way that helps him gauge the line of the delivery and have more time to think.

marcus trescothick englands most underrated batsmen handles pressure really well and is constantly making runs

how old is trescothick he looks like giles

And he's great on sub-continent pitches.Only Thorpe could outdo him here

he's 30

Marcus is a really good player and a major treasue to the English team. The team will definately miss him as a batsman and a fielder since he is not playing cricket right now. Hopefully he will join back the team soon because he is a major part of the team. And plus I guess since Michael has that injury at least Tres should be in the team.

Well that should be good news for England that people are giving such good performances without the captain and the vice-captain being in the team. It is just what the team needs now! Well that and the captain returning.. I have a question with Flintoff as the acting-captain now since neither Tres and Michael are not there who is the vice-captain to Flintoff?

yer it is either strauss harmison or hoggard, but out of them 3 strauss fits the bill

marcus trescothick is really a stalwart 4 england. an integral part of england's resurgance in the international game since his debut in 2000. not the greatest footwork but to hell with that, he gets the job done. trescothinck to me had my vote to be england captain after nasser hussain's resignation, but Vaughan really has taken this team and formed them into his own. Marcus has acted as the man behind the scenes along with Duncan Fletcher.

At the moment he is looking all out of sorts .Hope he gets some runs soon or else he ll be in big trouble .

I have a lot of time for Trescothick, and feel he is a really good player.  When England are playing well, it is normally because he has given them a great platform as an opener.  That said, when Tresco is out of form he seems to stay out of form a bit longer than your average person.  It is probably down to his technique which he relies on good hands, minimal footwork and a good eye.  When things aren't quite going his way though, he can be exposed a little, which is what the Aussies did the time before last.  But when he is in form I feel he is crucial to England's chances of winning, and is a key player!

Obviously a good batsman. Not in the same category of classical opening batsman, but it's the fashion now to use attacking batsman to open innings. His mental contions is also quite good, disintegration does not work well with him (Gillespie once did in previous (2001 I think) Ashes by going round the wicket to him and getting him cheaplt in the series). He is the most consisitent English player for a long time before he had this mini slump in his game

Yes Wal , he can't seem to get a run just now. Practically all batsmen suffer the same fate through their careers (listening KP?) and the best players just work a little harder and get through it.

I've no doubt Trescothick has been grafting hard and is hoping for a turnaround today , but the Rose Bowl must be one of the hardest places for an opener to re-establish himself against a quality attack.

For the series , let's hope he gets a big one today , because when he does the side tend to post a good score.

It's strange , but I can't ever remember Tres and KP putting together a substantial partnership in ODI's - can anybody put me right on that one?
