My, how we`ve...

The PCA Awards contained few surprises this year. Marcus Trescothick won the major prize of Player of the Year, dominating English one-day and four-day cricket and helping Somerset to a lot of match victories if not actual trophies.

A SMILE ON THE FACE Back in March, 2008, I wrote a piece on this blog about the decision by Marcus Trescothick that he could no longer continue to play test cricket and that, instead, he would concentrate on serving his county, Somerset, with whom he had been associated for 17 years having been born in the county at Keynsham.
