Marcus Trescothick

Marcus Trescothick - Test Career Marcus Trescothick has been a superb find for English cricket. He has come a long way from his days at county side Somerset.

One of the brightest spots to come from the One Day and Ashes series was the continued emergence of Somerset opening batsman Marcus Trescothick. He has shown real promise with great attacking shots and getting plenty of runs on the board, continuing the good work from the West Indies series win last summer and a good winter tour last year. At 25 he is one of the few emerging talents to have made a place certain in the England team, and plays with such conviction, you feel he has been there for 10 years not 2. Local lad Trescothick has only ever played for Somerset, and earned his call up to the first class team at the tender age of 17. Born on Christmas Day ...  Read the complete review

Marcus Trescothick has come in to the England team this year and looked equally at home in both one-day internationals and in the Test Match arena. The Somerset left-handed batsman has used his simple, but effective technique to destroy some of the best bowling in the world, notably Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose, scoring an impressive 262 runs at an average of 43.66 from his first 4 Test Matches. After his first Test, he could ha been called the best batsman in the history of cricket, with an average of over 100! He leaves most deliveries outside the off stump, but when he does decide to attack a wider ball he plays through the line of the ball, rather than ...  Read the complete review

Marcus Trescothick, nicknamed Banger due to his penchant for finest Saveloys (well he's a Somerset boy and the butchers make there own so it is very understandable!), has to have been the player who has best seized his chance when handed to him. Brought into the squad as a result of an injury, Marcus played with the composure that has often been lacking with England's young guns in recent years. On the tour to Pakistan he again performed solidly in the one day series, and will hopefully continue to do so in the Test Series. Of course he is far from the finished article. He has yet to convert his fifties into centuries, having only scored one ...  Read the complete review
