International Coach
Think its far too early to be comparing the 2 because Strauss still has a fair way to go in his career while Trescothick is almost certainly done with international cricket. Don't rate Trescothick as anything more than 'decent' and a serviceable option in test match cricket, but there is little doubt in my mind that Trescothick >>Strauss (2004-08). However, the Strauss from 08/09 onwards has been better than anything that Trescothick ever managed and it will be interesting to see if can keep that up or not. I do expect Strauss to end up the better player, not just because I've always though that he is a very strong character but also because of his conversion rate which emphasis the fact that when he gets going there is little that can be done to stop him.
