Marcus Trescothick

[Jimbee]

Won't be going to the Champions Trophy but will be available for The Ashes.

Given the nature of his condition, I don't see how he can possibly commit to a series and 3 months away so soon after pulling out of one that lasts two weeks maximum. :scratch:

Shame we could do with him to replace Strauss at the moment.

We have Shah who should've been given a chance, not Tresco who was finished anyway due to depression and stress, we need to blood younger players a la India/Pakistan, if they're good enough they'll pull through.

Stress-related illness? More like can't-be-arsed-related laziness.

 

[Holysmit]

So whens he signing up for the ipl?

Some disingenuous comments to a fantastic player and one of the best England players of his generation.

Edgbaston 2005.

Not one of your best posts VTG. A great cricketer and an integral part of the best England team in years (2003-2005). Ignorant comments really aren't needed.

Does anyone know his illness manifests itself?
I'm guessing that he may suffer from panic attacks, and if that is so, it is no wonder that he feels unable to continue his Test career.
Good luck to him, he has a long, rocky road ahead.

along with depression.

sad for him, but there are younger players who can take his place, he was one of the best players in his time, records prove that.

If you are serious, shame on you for being so ignorant. Go and read a little bit about the kind of things that afflict people's mental health and perhaps you will come to realise how fortunate those of us with sound mind are. Marcus Trecothick is a talented batsman who served his country well. No doubt his difficulties are a huge challenge for him and for his family. You are way off the mark.

Sad news. I guess this finally ends any specualtion he'll ever play for England again.

 

[KcBee]

I was amazed he went to be honest after reading he would never put himself through it again

Hope he realises now that somerset is his limit!

 

[burnhambee]

Top batsmen. Top person . Good luck Marcus !

A much misunderstood illness is mental health. Many people don't really see it as an illness which is at the heart of the issue.

 

[Salford Bee]

Will be speaking on Inside Sport tonight. I wonder if there are those who've criticised him on here will watch.

 

[Streetboy]

I think a few of the earlier posters on this thread could do a lot worse than read his autobiography, then re-evaluate their position.

It's truely an excellent but very depressing read. I could only read a chapter at a time as it was so powerful.

Just finished reading Marcus Trescothick autobiography. Wow - a must read for all. Superb book, great insight in depression and tragic to be honest. :sad:

One of my fav English players ever.
