More bad news
Marcus Trescothick is now out of the Ashes series, with a recurrence of a stress-related illness. Well, good luck to him I say. Losing Banger is a big miss. Yes, he doesn't have a great record against the Aussies, and yes, there is adequate cover (Cook, Bell and whoever the selectors call up in his absence - Robert Key maybe?) but the simple fact is that England are a poorer side without him. Here's hoping that Marcus Trescothick can take off the time he needs (however long that may be) and come back refreshed and ready. I don't care if he misses the World Cup; the important thing is that he is able to get over his problem.

PS - in the meantime, nice to see Freddie and KP in among the runs.
