Trescothick seems to think that he can come in and out of the team when he wants! Is that really tyhe sort of attitude England need at the moment, especially when they aren't doing particulary well! IMO he should be dropped, even if it is for a few matches! In that way, he'll realise that the management are the real boss and not him!

Yea, I didn't like him dropping out randomly for a dubious cause.

No. I think he's very much needed in the English lineup, and it's possible he has been suffering from depression or some fatique related condition. I guess if I found out later that it was just that he couldn't be arsed, I'd change my opinion.

People don't know whats actually going on behind the scenes. It annoys me when people make judgements, when they don't know the real story.

Every time I go into Starbucks in town, I see Marcus Trescothick and a load of Somerset team mates in there.. Now I'm no expert on his "problems" but he doesn't look like a person with a load on his mind when he's having a laugh in there.. I reckon he should make way for Cook

A lot of people may have family issues! Im not saying that he's not upset or he's just looking 4 an excuse to take a break. Im saying that he can't take the pressure of international crciket. He's meant to be a proffesional....Mahendra Dhoni, for example, couldn't go back to his family for diwali, whilst all the his teammates did! How do you think he felt?? He must have been upset! All on his own in Dehli!
BUT,,,,unlike trescothick he didn't just decide to leave the team and hope that everyone understands. He continued practise instead and carried on playing! That's the dedication a proffestional cricketer is required to have! Trescothick needs to learn that!

No I don't think Trescothick should be dropped, not after the succesful partnership he has formed with Strauss at the top of the order, and we all know how vital he is to England's ODI side. I just think he needs a few stern words from someone within the management set up and so he can get himself back on track and hopefully bring up his first century against Australia in the Ashes.

No, he shouldn't necessarily be dropped. The team management should know his situation in detail by now and should work to get him back on track, assuming that he had valid reasons for leaving the team recently. If his absence from the team in any way represented a lack of commitment, he should be dropped and Cook should partner Strauss at the top. Then again, I think the Ashes mean a hell of a lot more than commitment to England so I doubt they'd hurt their chances of victory simply to discipline Tresco.
