Loading ...Probably the right decision, congratulations Marcus on an outstanding career.
Now that England have officaly lost Tresco as a player, what should be done about England’s opening parteners, Cook of course stays, Vaughan in my opinon should go back to 3 which suits him a lot better.
Strauss is short of runs so he’s out of the equation, what about Ed Joyce?
Trescothick retires from internationals

Well, I think we all knew it was coming. I think we even hoped it would come. The misery he has endured in trying to get himself mentally stable for the pressures of international cricket hasn’t been fun to watch. Have just done the news story below, and we’re now on a gallery and timeline. Leave your thoughts, should you have any, below:
It cuts short his career on 76 Test matches, in which he made 5825 runs and struck 14 hundreds, including a top score of 219. He was just as valuable, if not more effective, in one-day cricket where he was able to capitalise on his natural power and timing. In 123 one-dayers, he cracked 4335 runs at 37.37 - second only to Alec Stewart as England’s leading one-day run-scorer.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time playing for England, and I am very proud of having been selected for 76 Test matches and over 120 ODIs. It has been great privilege to represent my country and I am grateful to the game of cricket for giving me the opportunity to excel at a sport that I enjoy so much.

It’s the right call, for sure. He’ll probably make a big heap of runs for Somerset this summer…
Joyce is yet another re-tread, Tom, we need to look to the next generation.

I feel our one day side will greatly miss him, was looking forward to see him back in an england shirt, but its just not going to happen

A tremendous loss for English cricket. I’d had hopes at the back of my head that he’d return to international cricket eventually, so this is a bit of a disappointment. Innocent is right though, England’s loss is Somerset’s gain.
Personally, I thought Strauss should go back to the top of the order and Vaughan slot in somewhere lower. Even so, the England list looks more like a bunch of players than a coherent team at the moment.

What a legend Tres is. He was England’s best from the moment he started with them, and his loss has left a huge hole in the side. I hope he can find success and happiness outside international cricket.
Thanks for being such a star.

Both a shame and a relief. Marcus is a quality player who will thrive in Div One without having that extra pressure of England to think about. A great servant for the game.
