Trescothick's virus version of events verges on the ridiculous

Posted on 04/16/2006 in English cricket

England have had a splendid winter. Played four series and lost three, but splendid nevertheless. And everyone had moved on from Marcus Trescothick's pre-Test series departure because of a mystery virus until the batsman himself brought it up again. It is an issue that needs to be questioned, writes Mike Atherton in The Telegraph, for something sinister is beginning to happen.

Kevin Mitchell says the Trescothick affair reeks of arrogance as cricket peddles public any old nonsense. Get a whiff of his column in The Guardian.

Aakash Chopra, the former Indian opening batsmen, has his views on the matter.

In the midst of this, Angus Fraser notes that England's learning process carries on ahead of the World Cup after India handed them another lesson at Indore.
