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. ------------- |

| He has a slightly dubious technique which is why he doesn't get all the credit he deserves - but it works for him and that is all that matters. In the last 12 months he has got two monkeys off his back in that he proved he could score runs outside of England and proved he could score runs against Australia. He is a massive part of the England side and I strongly suspect he would be one of the openers if I were picking a current World XI |

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. |

| He is crucial, he gets england off to good starts in both forms of teh game, he scores at a quick rate without taking to many risks, and he can also play the very long innings, one of the best players off spin in the england team. He seems to have got a good amount of runs at a good average for years now. |

England's vice-captain, too so a huge pillar in the team in more ways than just his batting. Probably our best slip fielder, just ahead of Freddie and Strauss, too. ------------- |

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? ------------- |

Good question - I think it's Strauss as he's captained the team in a few warm-ups before. ------------- |

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. ------------- L.Prudent |

Trescothick was a major player in the Ashes victory. After the hiding in the 1st Test it all seemed doom and gloom all over again. The word was that Australia would win convincingly and England would freeze in the headlights like so many times previously.
That they didn't had a lot to do with Trescothick's approach. He attacked from the word go at Edgbaston and along with Strauss , Vaughan , Pietersen and Flintoff they really took it to the Aussie attack. Only Warne escaped with credit ,Lee, Gillespie and Kasper took a pounding - so much so that the latter two haven't been seen since. All in all , Tresco is pretty good!!! ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

trescothicks, batting is funny, especially his bottom hand. Its like sooo loose, as if hes hanging onto the abt so it wont drop. and yes he plays the straight drives with sooo much control. is it the heavy bat he uses? or does he just have really huge forearms, like jimmy maher? =P ------------- "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!!!" |

| 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! |

| Trescothick is a key part in the England squad, but if the team plays badly, it seems that people place the blame on him. If he plays well, it normally goes unoticed. If he does play well, England nearly always win. |

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 ------------- Don't argue with fools.

A consistent player no doubt Wal, but until he makes a big 1 against Australia i cannot rate him as highly as Strauss or even Haydos (in his glory days) and is probably on Par with Sehwag & G Smith IMO. His distinct lack of footwork somedays lets him down, and tahts always been his trouble against Australia, Mcgrath in particular. No doubt though he is a valuable player in the english side, and when on fire, a stunning batsmen! ------------- 5-0 You Beauty!!!!!

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? ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Tresco is fantastic - even though he wouldn't know what "footwork"
meant if someone whacked him over the head with a giant foot (a la
python). Yes, ok, so he's a little out
of form at the moment, but so's KP, who's really annoying. Tresco is a
great slip catcher and obviously a wise old head in the dressing room,
even if he is a little bit crazy. I hope him and Read sort out their
misunderstandings though, cause otherwise alot of potential catches are
going to be lost. But I have to agree, he is probably our most reliable
batsman (usually) and one of our only decent one-day batsman. I'm not sure, but I think that him and SJones and Ali Cook all have their birthdays on Christmas. Aww. ------------- "I hear Geraint Jones is a great guy to have around the dressing room... which is good, seeing as he spends so much BLOODY time there!" |

Just read in The Guardian that Trescothick doesn't want to play in the ICC Trophy. If that's true , then I'm very disappointed.
I don't agree with players picking when and where they'll play. They're VERY privileged and it now seems , very spoilt. Get a grip Marcus , recognise just how lucky you are and get yourself off to India. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I hope Ganguly would have been in the England team then he would have also scored in one of the 20 matches he is assured to play . ABout Tres refusing to go to india its a silly descision ,england are already having an inexperienced side and if tres goes it wil be worse tahn bangladesh . ------------- |

People seem to be saying this yet an in form Tres would've hammered that for 4, it was easily going down the legside and might've missed a 4th stump! Tres seems to be struggling with something Mentally atm, he looks so out of sorts. Reminds me of the Thrope situation a bit. |

He is struggling because he dosen't have a solid technique to fall back on, having a good eye can only get you so far. |

I heard this morning that he wasn't going because he had a "sensitive medical problem" - I wish they would just reveal what it was! Not because I'm really nosey and want to know the intricate details of Tresco's mind, but I feel that the fans certainly deserve some kind of explanation. I reckon he is just crazy... ------------- "I hear Geraint Jones is a great guy to have around the dressing room... which is good, seeing as he spends so much BLOODY time there!" |

My mother-in-law has a "sensitive medical problem" - it's called ME Laura , I just won't go away!!
On a more serious note , Tresco just doesn't seem to be up to international cricket right now. That he wants to go to Oz makes me think that it can't be that serious. If he can't cope in India , he hasn't a hope in Australia. Trescothick is almost as vital to England's cause as Flintoff and Harmison , without him the Ashes look lost. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Very funny well maybe if we have at least a couple of our best players out there, we might take it to the fourth or maybe even the fifth test.... who knows... but I certainly wouldn't bet on us winning it. Maybe if we can draw the series... I read the article on cricinfo just after I posted - Tresco has had some sort of gastric infection and, more worryingly, an underlying stress related illness. My theory is that his doctors have told him to have a rest, and he's spoken to the management about it, and noone really cares about the ICC champions trophy anyway, and we really don't have any chance in hell of winning it with or without tresco, so they've said he can stay at home. Hopefully taking some time out to relax and sort himself out will increase the chances of us seeing the Tresco we all know and love out there in Brisbane on November 23rd (78 days!!). Speaking of Harmison, does anyone else share my fear that he won't be fit for the Ashes? ------------- "I hear Geraint Jones is a great guy to have around the dressing room... which is good, seeing as he spends so much BLOODY time there!" |

i think that Trescothick needs to sort himself out and do it quickly. he, if we all remember was instrumental in that winning ashes team last year. whatever personal matters should be dealt with as quickly as possible so that he can get back to doing what he does best. also i dont share the same view as laura. i do think that Harmison will be fit as he does intimidate the aussies. what he needs to is to stop talking like a little girl and just get himself fit. he made some statements in the papers recently saying that he gets homesick and can't function well away. my feeling is that you are a world class performer and should just suck it up and forget about home. just blot it out and think of fighting tootha and nail for your country. ------------- L.Prudent |
