Tres coming home

[Nazza]

Just breaking on Sky Sports......Trescothick to come home, a recurrence of his illness being cited as the reason.

Poor chap. Get better soon old chap........

Just heard on the news that Tresco is coming home.

Thanks for the memories Tresco but you are now a liability and your international career should be over.I hope he gets better but he is too big a risk for the future.

[Pete]

What a messer. He's let everyone down here, he made a big mistake saying he'd be ready for the Ashes when he announced he wasn't going to India.

[greg]

The big question now is who gets called up to replace him?

I guess Rob Key should be called up as he has experience of Australia and can open the batting.

[Nazza]

What is there to be confused about ?

[Mr Hutt]

but cook can be put up to open and colligwood taken in the side??? why the need for replacement.. unless key is better than cook up the order.

[greg]

Yes Collingwood will play now but i was thinking we need an opener to come into the squad as we only have 2 left now.Key can also bat in the middle order so he is flexible.

Put it another way i wouldn't want Bell opening should Cook or Strauss get injured/ill.

[Paoli]

Yep, just heard it on the radio.

[Mr Hutt]

pretty sad though that it had to happen like this. What Englishman would not be heartbroken at missing a chance to open for his country in the ASHES!

Whatever the reason this is a big blow to Englands attempt to retain the Ashes, not unlike the Thorpe situation, he has been a good servant for England, he should be should by now...

It was Simon jones and Flintoff injured on Englands last tour to Australia, Trescothick this time, it puts a lot of pressure on Cook.
