Marcus Trescothick – Somerset

Marcus Trescothick made his debut for Somerset in 1993, but it wasn’t until 1999 that he batted on a pacy pitch at Taunton against Glamorgan and made a storming 167, with five sixes. When England needed a stand-in One Day opener in 2000, Trescothick was called and so started his international career.

A true opener, he formed a habit of starting a series well with a mixture of expert leaves, crisp cover-drives, spanking pulls and fearless slog-sweeps. His best years came in 2003, when he capped the season with a determined 219 (and 69 not out) in the astonishing series-levelling victory at The Oval and 2005, when he spearheaded a no-holds-barred approach against Australia with 431 runs and a top score of 90.

He cemented his 2005 season by being named Wisden’s Cricketer of the Year. Now in his 15th season with Somerset, Marcus continues to effortlessly score runs for his county.

Marcus is proud to be supporting the PCA Benevolent Fund and Children’s Hospice South West.
