Marcus Trescothick of England hits out

Trescothick was one of the finest opening batsmen to play for England and an automatic choice in the English side in the early 2000s. In a cruel turn of events, the left-handed batsman had to retire prematurely in 2008.

Known for his attacking instincts, the southpaw was more of a see-the-ball-hit-the-ball kind of player. Although the explosive batsman had every shot in his repertoire, off-drives and slog-sweeps highlighted his batting.

The left-handed opener was often criticized for getting out after settling in throughout his career. This was evident in Ashes 2005 where he failed to score a single century but was pivotal in his team's victory.
