David Warner vs Marcus Trescothick

[Johan]

44.6 averaging opener and a 43.8 averaging opener

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Warner by a mile.

 

[GIMH]

39.2 away V 31.6 away

I think we all know who has the tougher home conditions to open in. This is easy. Trescothick was miles better

 

[Johan]

Trescothick averaged 46 before his mental health decline iirc

Very short career is a problem. Trescothick was a more flexible cross-conditions player than Warner but the latter has a substantially larger volume and was a match-dictating beast on flat pitches.

Honestly think I value Tresco's ability to score runs all around and in difficult conditions over Warner's longetivity personally, kinda shitty he retired at 30 though due to mental health.

Warner or Vaughan?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Trescothick scored 3 100s against a weak Bangladesh side.

He was probably the 6th or 7th best opener of his era.
Warner was probably the 2nd or 3rd best opener of his era.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Mark Richardson was better than Trescothick, and Warner was clearly better than Richardson.

 

[BazBall21]

Richardson has 4 hundreds. I assume you also rate him over Vaughan as you've listed Trescothick above Vaughan in the recent past. Vaughan is 18-4 up on Richardson.

 

[Johan]

Warner or Vaughan?

like as an opener? probably Vaughan considering the 2002-3 Ashes is not a feat I think Warner capable of.

overall Batsmen would be trickier as Vaughan's failure in the middleorder drags him down a bit but we don't know how Warner will do in middle order anyway.

 

[Johan]

Mark Richardson was better than Trescothick, and Warner was clearly better than Richardson.

Richardson was good but Tresco was easily better, Richardson has 2 away centuries while Trescothick has 2 in the same series.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Richardson has 4 hundreds.

Due to low strike rate and lots of 90s

Due to low strike rate and lots of 90s

Low strike rate is his problem, not bad luck.

 

[BazBall21]

More gears is one of the reasons why Trescothick had a superior run-scoring threshold, and thus was the better player.

Richardson's anchor strike rate as someone who wasn't a top class run-maker means he was really just a decent supporting batsman who the more dangerous players can operate with. Trescothick was significantly better at setting games up independently and clearly a consistent enough run-churner with his mid-40s average.
