Marcus Trescothick

A highlight of English cricket in the early 2000s, amidst bits-and-pieces cricketers and a dearth of ODI trophies, was a picture of Marcus Trescothick creaming bowling attacks around the world. Tall and composed, Trescothick played to his strengths, resorting to a simple approach that relied on finding gaps in the initial overs and playing the anchor as the innings progressed.
In a career criminally cut short by mental stress, Trescothick played the 100th of his 123 matches, against Bangladesh in 2005, just a year before he played his last ODI. Chasing a meagre target of 192, Trescothick had a ball with the bat (no pun intended), smacking 16 fours in an unbeaten opening partnership with Andrew Strauss that took the side home without even breaking a sweat.
