text: do you think the withdrawal of trescothick will have any effect on the poms' performance?   yes i do. i feel very sorry for marcus’s predicament, but in the same breath know that he will leave a huge hole in the england side. his partnership with andrew strauss has been crucial to england’s success over the years, as has his leadership around the team. i personally hope he is back on his feet soon because i know how much he loves the game of cricket, which is worse off without him on the ground.
