Title: Trescothick
Post by: DMR on Tuesday, June 14, 2005, 12:24:25
He's struggled against the Aussies but I've got a feeling he'll come good this summer, he's in top form

I'm going to go get a slating for this, but the bloke really is Englands best batsman  8)

I hope your right but no-one's technique is ever going to found out in a Twenty20 game like it will in a Test match.

His technique is fine, just minimal foot movement.

He plays nice and straight when he gets going so its not a huge issue.

The minimal foot movement is a major technichal issue which he still hasn't fixed and won't ever.

'when he gets going so its not a huge issue' but what about all the times he doesn't get going.

Tresco though is quality, shame though that for somerset he doesn't do anything when he does play his 3 games a season.

He has always had bad foot movement and it wont change.

Thank fuck Straussy got some runs

You mean thank fuck Geraint Jones ain't opening?

Complete waste of both of their abilities having Jones opening and Strauss in the middle order.

Today's order was spot on.

It was all going crap, then I changed one part of my super tactics and everything is falling into place. Seem to be steadily climbing the Premiership table as we speak

I'm having a monster session tonight on my new super dooper PC tonight. I've had my glastonbury delivery which i shall be sampling :doobie:  I'll have to remember how to play FM. I've not played for 4 months.

My mission tonight: get STFC where we belong - the champions league. I've got 12 games to do it

Trescothic is a good batsman, but NEVER moves his feet which is the first thing you learn as a batsman!!!!

He also has a tendancy to hold his bat about one inch too close to his body!

I do agree but Trescothick averages 40 odd so he must be doing something right. Not to mention Sehwag and Gilchrist who have seemingly never heard of the words 'foot' and movement' put together but they both still average in the 50s.
