Go away Trescothick! Bring Gayle on.

Drink came at the wrong time for Mr Trescothick I think.

It might give him more time to adjust his strategy for the post-15 overs fielding patterns.

 

[tooextracool]

Boing boing Tresco hits Rampaul for a maximum.

Has he hit form or has luck going for him?

not really....hes finally come across a nice flat pitch for him to play those flashy glued feet shots on without having them going to the slips

 

[luckyeddie]

2 more boundaries. What is going on?

F T Bully's not going to give up his place without a fight.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Dillon knocks over Strauss!

2 down now...

Or they're bowling loosely and he's punishing. Give it up.

Collingwood is the perfect foil for Trescothick now.

Nurdle those singles.

Neil can confirm that I wrote that before the commentators said exactly the same words.

Do u have a job with talksport? Just as i read that Griegs mate said just that, spooky.

The West Indian bowlers haven't be amazing this morning, but Trescothick's runs have really been due to his initiative to play a shot-a-ball.

 

[Loony BoB]

Whatever he's doing, he's doing it better than his mates are doing it, so unless you think he's so lucky as to "get all the easy balls", he's doing something right. 75 off 59 can't be dismissed as complete luck.

Aye, that I do confirm.

Please don't turn this into a slagging-off thread, TEC..

 

[Loony BoB]

Has there been a dramatic change in the bowling or is Collingwood just not finding the gaps?

Glued feet shots would suggest he's not coming down the pitch, which Cricinfo suggests he is.

I wasnt doubting that, just spooky that's all!

Give him a break, he's only been out there for 12 balls!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Collingwood caught by Jacobs.

 

[twctopcat]

Collingwood out, this is touch and go.

im not surprised that trescothick is doing pretty well in these ODIs, he is a very good ODI player. but send him in on a pitch with a little movement and he really does have problems.
