I think that innings was a turning point for Trescothick at Somerset so he's probably got fond memories of it now but it must've been a bit of a sickener at the time.
I’m sure there was a Glamorgan v Somerset game at Swansea in the nineties where Trescothick batted at 8 and was in the side mainly as a medium pace bowler. I think there was another Glamorgan v Somerset where Trescothick so impressed then Glamorgan coach Duncan Fletcher that he was more or less straight into the England team when Fletcher took over from Bumble Lloyd.
