Trescothick splits!?
I'm not sure what his problem is MLCMan.
He left the Indian tour for 'personal reasons' which the vultures in the UK press assumed were marriage-related. Seems Tres has had some form of breakdown which he felt sure he'd overcome. Apparently not. He's a cracking player (absolutely no pun intended) when his head's right so I'm sorry to see him go. But Aus is no place to turn out of you're feeling a little vulnerable, so home's the right decision, for Tres and the team.
Alistair Cooke (expected replacement from within the squad) is a decent bat.
Those 'in the know' say he's a year away from a regular opening slot.
Well, now he's about 9 days away from it . . .
. . . gulp.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
