Trescothick is not a Twit

There is hope for print journalism, exemplified in the choice of one of England's leading batsmen to break his news in his local paper and not by pushing buttons on his mobile.

Ex-Spurs striker Darren Bent and Aussie opener Phillip Hughes vented their frustrations via Twitter.

But Marcus Trescothick chose to rely on his column in the Bristol Evening Post to relay to the world the news he would not be returning for the Ashes finale at the Oval.

The 32-year-old retired from Test cricket after suffering from stress and has since scooped the William Hill prize for Sports Book of the Year with 'Coming back to me' which explores his battle with the condition.
