SUBSCRIBE ► bit.ly/SubscribeSkyCricket
Former England batsman Marcus Trescothick runs through his approach for facing speed bowling as a left handed batsman. Marcus explains how he deals with the first ball of the over, before getting on his helmet and facing the bowling machine set to 80mph to show how he'd get runs from a fast swing ball.

Watching Marcus Trescothick is always a treat... The most underrated batsmen... The absolute gem of person.. never seen him sledge or had any altercation on field... I can still remember the game in my childhood where he hit a pull shot to Brett Lee for a six without any effort...Such a natural timer of the ball.. god bless him.... Love from India❤️❤️

[@userKK2023]

He was one of the sweetest timers of the ball. Even his sixes looked effortless. I was disappointed when they dropped him and Gough just before the 2007 World Cup!

[@prankstereddy]

I think he left the game volunteraly sitting reason with depression and problem at home due to touring. He was fav English batsman growing up still have the Wisden cricket 2002 edition poster on my door.

Trescothick would have been an all time great had the cruel depression not take away his prime years. He had everything necessary to be successful in all formats.

[@kil93]

He *was* successful in all formats

[@sagarbehera]

I guess he is still successful. May not be an all time great. But his record is still pretty good. That just shows how strong, even mentally, the all time greats are.

[@kil93]

@@sagarbehera his average is only 2 runs less than Cooks and Cook is hailed as a all time great. Trescothick played in a tougher era too .

[@sagarbehera]

Cook is considered great because he played consistently for a long time before the slide. Cook flopped for a considerable period and then finished on a high.

[@kil93]

@@sagarbehera Cook had a slide between 2013- early 2015 where he didnt get a hundred. But 2010-2011 aside, cook was consistently ok-good throughout his whole career. I dont consider Cook to be a great in the same vein as Hayden,Smith,Grenidge, Sehwag. The uncomfortable truth about Cook is that the reason he had such longevity in his career is that England had no one better to replace him with, as seen by the long list of failed batting partners he had.

[@rehansadiq8812]

Yes.......I think he was only attacking batsman in Eng team at that time......

[@sandeepgoud1311]

He’s probably the best English batsman of his times. He used to consistently perform well against IND and maintained good record overall. I’d rate him higher than KP. If not for his mental illness, he would’ve ended up as one of the greats.

[@muhammadaurangzeb7079]

I think covering the stumps when playing from this angle is key. That way, bowler will also be searching for the right line because as soon as he goes wide, you can leave the ball easily.

[@royp7541]

There is a lot to learn from the great player. He may not look pretty but in cricketing intelligence and application, he was a legend.

If i am right i think his batting style and Sir Alistair Cook batting style is little bit similiar if it then reply me plzz

[@relevantbrother8964]

Terrific opener. Nowadays right arm around pace angle is very difficult for lefties .Just have to play the line and hope it misses the edge against the new ball especially. Otherwise they can bat out of the ceease, at times kook for disruptive strokes like the reverse sweep or switch hit once in a while.

[@manojradharapu4688]

I really enjoy the batting style of left handers .... Hayden,Gilly, Warner, Sanath Jayasuriya,lara, Gayle, Fleming,Grame Smith , Andrew Strauss, Yuvraj , Ganguly, Andey Flower, Tresscothik, decock, Miller, Salman bhutt , tafeq umar etc.....

One question for all the English cricket player,,why you have less longevity in the game . I think he was such a brilliant timer of the ball.

[@dandan4092]

Tres suffered from depression and anxiety. He stepped back from international cricket in 2006, then found it difficult to get back in the test side with Strauss and Cook opening and more prominently, continuing struggles with mental health. He eventually retired from international cricket all together in 2008. Top bloke.

It is a shame that he didn't play in India. That was the last frontier for him to excell to be considered among the greatest openers ever played the game.
