Trescothick goes home
By Will 4 years ago, at the end of February Add your comment below
Update November 14 2006
He’s left the Ashes
As if England’s situation couldn’t be worse, Marcus Trescothick has flown home for family reasons and might miss the Test series.

On the BBC website they are all a panic, from reading there thread it wolud appear they believe we will be without, Trescothick, Collingwood, Vaughn, Pietersen. Think they are panicking a bit too much. Pietersen, Collingwood and Vaughn haven’t been ruled out yet. Lets looki at positives, good opportunity for Cook to get his debut.

I’ll be interested in finding out who would captain if Vaugha-knee and Tres don’t turn up, which I personally think looks pretty likely. I suspect they’ll give it to Lord Brock, but it could go to Fred too.
Has Struass ever captain Middlesex during his country years? I can’t seem to recall.

Lots are calling for Flintoff, but with him batting and bowling, I don’t thnik the added responsibility of the captaincy is something he needs.
February 25th, 2006 at 7.06 pm
Strauss is odds on for the captaincy. Giving it to Flintoff would ruin him. Zain, he was vice-captain of Middlesex at the start of 2002, then Gus Fraser retired so he was promoted. He then captained them throughout 2003 but, ever since, he’s been on England duty. He’s widely believed to be the heir apparent.

So I’m Zain now. I see, that’s a male name BTW…Agree on Fred though, I think he said he’d love to lead England not that long ago but it probably isn’t in his own interests that he does. Strauss seems to have a good head on this shoulders (literally as well figuratively speaking), and also has leadership experience (as you confirm) so he should be a good choice (he’s not in terribly good nick with the bat though, is he?). But I still can’t help stop looking forward to all the numerous interviews he’ll given if he becomes captain, especially when he becomes captain full time, so much fun they’ll be; like listening to Hugh Grant all the time.

What will we do if Mrs Flintoff goes into labour early . . .
February 26th, 2006 at 8.12 am
Flintoff would be a good short term choice imo if only to see how it affects his game either way. I would think the decisions would largely be by committee anyway whoever captains.

i think the english cricket team stand for everything that is boring about cricket at least trescothick “mr Boring” is gone. if i hear once more about england winning the ashes i will loose the plot, cant you just move on you are a great big nation and to sadly boast at every single opportunity about world cup 1966 and ashes 2005 says it all for gods sake look at equivilant size countries and their achievements and bow your heads in shame

That would be countries like France and Italy then? I think that makes it even better to be born English.
February 27th, 2006 at 3.00 pm
And what country do you hail from, Mary? One where punctuation and grammar aren’t held in much esteem, it would seem.
I fail to see how Tresco’s batting style can be described as boring; please enlighten us?

must be an age thing! you probably dont understand the youth of today!!!
February 27th, 2006 at 5.26 pm
Silly me – and there was I thinking this was a cricket blog, not a hairdresser’s forum.
Are you a troll-ette, by any chance? Or was the question just too difficult for you?
February 27th, 2006 at 6.21 pm
Personally, I wouldn’t exactly call England ‘big’. Oh, and I would dearly love to klnow of any achievements amde by Frnace, Italy, Spain etc. Also, it seems that spelling isn’t important where you come from either…and I would advise you not to take the ‘youth of today’ path with me…
February 27th, 2006 at 6.30 pm
oh sophie sophie sophie its only you lot that think you’re big!!!ill tell you wot (see! cant spell) you all really lack any sense of humour!!!
February 27th, 2006 at 6.32 pm
by the way sophie try spelling “knlow” again!

I presume Mary is an Aussie still reeling at last year’s Ashes. Can’t say they look too hot without Warne and McGrath at the moment in SA either.
February 28th, 2006 at 2.05 pm
There’s a difference between typos and plain bad spelling.Surely if I thought we were big, I would say that, rather than the opposite.
Are the Aussies feeling annoyed becasue they lost to South Africa or something…?
February 28th, 2006 at 3.22 pm
Aussies have a great sense of humour as long as they’re winning and gloating. As soon as they lose they suffer an abrupt sense of humour failure, I’ve noticed.
Whereas we Brits have long and bitter experience of losing and have therefore adapted pretty well to it…
I also fail to see how we’re ‘big’. Now India (population and size) and Australia (size) ARE big.

Oops! Looks like another Thorpey/Tresco gem! 50 odd runs from 150 odd balls not riveting exactly!
