We now know that Marcus Trescothick is one horrendous cheat.
Because he told us, and look at his eyes.
If you want to know the full story buy his book coming over me.
Less than a year after he cheated his career was over with depression.
Because some men are made to be cheats, and then there is Marcus.
Marcus has been chased by the ghost of Banquo ever since.
Yes I’m using Shakespeare, but try to follow.
MacBeth ordered Banquo (2005 Ashes) and his son Fleance (future ashes) killed.
Only Banquo was killed, Fleance survived.
When Banquo was killed, he came back to MacBeth in ghost form, and tormented the fucker for his actions.
In conculsion: The ghost of cheating at the 2005 ashes has stalked Marcus ever since, and that is why he is depressed.
Also Lady Macbeth was hard work.
So Karma (or the ghost) got the better of this fresh mouthed fucker.
The Australian players lost an Ashes, got fired up, smoked England in the next series while Marcus sat at home and fought with the black dog.
A 30 year old cricketer was lost to the game, England now look as dodgy as Pakistan at their foulest and Australia has all the necessary motivation to win next years Ashes.
Thanks Marcus, if it wasn’t for you I might never have seen a 5 nil drubbing of England.
I am looking into his eyes, and I am looking at a photoshop of horrors.
Great analogy Jrod. It would be nice to think that Marcus has a conscience but I suspect there may have been other motivations for blowing the whistle.
Wow UncleJ!!! The venom is positively gushing out. If you didn’t sign your post, I would have thought it was the “suave” one.
I think we should give him the recognition for coming clean. blowing the whistle is not easy. He will be subjected to harassment for the rest of his life.It may well be his depression was a result of what he had done – even more importantly – having to do what he may have been ordered to, even if it was against his principles.@ nestaquin – For now I think we should accept it is his conscience until proven otherwise. There will be many from the England camp themselves that will try and damage his integrity.
MIms, i know.NQ, he doesn’t have a conscience, he has a ghost following him. Hor, cheers. CM, I’m not sure if someone can get credit for coming clean when they have only done so for money, and from the excerpts that have been released so far there seems to be no remorse.
@ JRod,I haven’t read the details, I was giving him the benefit of doubt.But I do take your point.If it is conscience ridden, some degree of remorse would be expected.
I thought we knew this about about the mints(?). Didn’t our aliceband ODI bowler jokingly spill the beans on this sometime ago. And was told to hastily put them back in the bag because the English were getting all huffy about it? Or was that the Indians he was outing?
Rusty, but we didn’t know they were murray mints before.
oh, of course, “murray” mints – that makes a difference, of course
