Wisden Cricketer of
the Year 2005
There is something biblical about Marcus
Trescothick's career: seven years of plenty as a schoolboy, seven
years of famine when he reached the Somerset 1st XI. And lo, it came
to pass in 1999 that he batted on a pacy pitch at Taunton against
Glamorgan while Duncan Fletcher was their coach, and made a storming
167, with five sixes, when the next-best score was 50. When England
needed a stand-in one-day opener in 2000, Fletcher remembered
Trescothick. He took to international cricket like a duck to a TV
screen. A true opener, he formed a habit of starting a series well
with a mixture of expert leaves, crisp cover-drives, spanking pulls
and fearless slog-sweeps. Hefty, knock-kneed and genial, he is
described by Nasser Hussain as a left-handed Gooch, but his ease on
the big stage and his blazing one-day strokeplay are just as
reminiscent of David Gower. His first four England hundreds came in
a losing cause, confirming his ability to keep his head while all
around are losing theirs. Opening in Tests with Mike Atherton,
Trescothick acquired the air of a senior player as if by osmosis -
he joined the management committee on his first tour. All that
stands between him and the top drawer is a tendency to get out when
well set, to make a breezy 20 or 30. He seemed to have conquered
this with a domineering home season in 2002, but it reappeared -
like so many English frailties - as soon as the team landed in
Australia. Trescothick endured fluctuating fortunes over the next
couple of seasons. He showed glimpses of his blazing best against
South Africa in 2003, when he capped his season with a determined
219 (and 69 not out) in the astonishing series-levelling victory at
The Oval, but his form slid away drastically in the Caribbean that
winter. The selectors never lost faith with him, and having stood in
as captain for the first Test of the 2004 season, Trescothick
cracked a pair of hundreds against West Indies at Edgbaston. For
much of the season, he was overshadowed by his new opening partner,
Andrew Strauss, but at Johannesburg in 2004-05, he set up England's
victory with a brutal 180 on the final morning. It was one of the
finest innings of its type of all time.
