Trescothick relaxed...and nearly ready

In the Daily Mirror Mike Dickson meets Marcus Trescothick who again refuses to rule out a return to international cricket.

But he is wearing the contented look of a man who has left his darkest days behind. Now Trescothick is emerging from two days in the field against Derbyshire, and he is almost relishing the chore. "I've spent 180 overs watching the opposition pile up 800 and I've dragged one on 10 minutes before the close when I've only made 32 - but I've known worse," he said.

"It's the perfect opportunity to remind myself that I can walk away from disappointments on the pitch with the realisation that I've come a long way. It wasn't long ago that I was having to grind my way through every day and trying to get myself going again."
