omfg. If Trescothick plays it will be amazing. Chances are he's still mental but an on form Trescothick would be amazing and would complete the top order.
Ramps is a bottler, just like Bell, just like Bopara. He has averaged 100 but he even managed to bottle his 100th 100 a few times.

Trescothick won't be back, Miller has already ruled that out. Miller rules out Trescothick call | Cricket News | The Ashes - England v Australia 2009 | Cricinfo.com

its becoming a bit of a circus as far as i can see; we will be digging up w.g. grace next - it isnt going to help us bringing in one test wonders
It's the stock standard answer you give, all the eligible players in County Cricket are a part of the selection process. Plus Trescothick confirmed with a local newspaper this week that he won't come out of retirement so he would have to do a serious backflip which hardly ever happens.
What makes me laugh about Ramps is he always was in good county form and only for a short while looked Test class. Key looks Test class against nomark countries, Bopara likewise.
Maybe the ECB could scratch a couple of weeks worth of county matches and have England vs ROW vs England wannabes in a triangular tournament of say 3 day matches. Obviously county cricket isn't sorting out the quality from the dross in terms of runs.
Let's plan ahead, not just for the present but with the future in mind and not the past. Let's face it, selecting gramps or key would be looking at the present with the past in mind.
Your point being, then? Tres isn't exactly a croaked and injury prone player ala Simon Jones.
Ever heard of a joke before?

So if Trott does well for the Lions we could quite possibly see him in the last test then. Bopara can't be retained now, surely.
