Marcus Trescothick 180 vs South Africa 2004/05 4th test

[johnstonl01]

effective one day batsman as well

It breaks my heart to notice how innocuous Pollock had become after 2001 or so. Yes, he was still super-accurate and very economical, but nowhere close to the penetrative bowler he was in the 90s. Loss of pace and zip off the track was a huge handicap for him, I feel.

There were a lot of times he played second fiddle to men like Ntini and Nel. Sometimes even to Langeveldt.

Still a very useful 3rd/4th bowler and a superb bowling all-rounder for his side.

i love watching him and matthew hayden bat when i was younger as i thought from 2002 - 2005 thet were the best openers around

Trescothick was a delight to watch in full flow..

Too bad he had to retire so soon. Still scores bundles in domestic games doesn't he?

[metalandcricket]

[Come2PaaPaa]

fine batting

[Crkt4Eva]

One of the greatest innings for England I've ever seen.

[TheMudman2010]

Imagine England's batting line-up he was still playing. It is pretty useful as it is but the pace at which he scores would make it even more formidable.

thanks for this he was wonderful to watch, pity he is suffering from depression coz he wud have played at least 100 test.
