Seems like he was an Indian Mike Brearley going off his Cricinfo profile.And on the topic, the worst pure batsman to play Ranji for a long time retired yesterday. Jaydev Shah, son of Niranjan Shah, played for about 15 years in Ranji purely due to influence from his father. As a pure batsman, he averages less than 30 in FC and 20ish in List A. Also, got into 4 IPL teams in 4 different seasons by influence.
One of my favorite English cricketers of the early 2000s. That knock in that infamous Natwest Trophy was iconic.Marcus Trescothick retires today aged 43 after about 26 years of first class cricket. I saw a bit of him early on at a time when County Cricket was just about still worth watching before all the top players stopped playing. He never really looked like he was destined to average over 40 in Test Cricket, then had his career cut short by illness.
Welcome back slippy, don't slip up like that againI'm back after a month off the forum.
That's a bloody long career. Surprised he didn't come a bit closer to the 100 hundredsMarcus Trescothick retires today aged 43 after about 26 years of first class cricket.

Loved watching him play. One of the few English players who impressed me in those times. Good luck to him!Marcus Trescothick retires today aged 43 after about 26 years of first class cricket.

He is now Saurashtra president while Srini mama's daughter is now Tamilnadu president. Hate these generation politics taking over in cricket too.Seems like he was an Indian Mike Brearley going off his Cricinfo profile.
