After taking a wicket with the first ball of the Test, England dominated Pakistan across two and a half rain-affected days.<\/p>\n
They appeared more measured in their approach than during the ultra-aggressive Stokes-McCullum regime, but still scored at 4.55 runs per over – albeit against a poor Pakistan side.<\/p>\n
“We played to the fashion that we wanted to,” Trescothick said.<\/p>\n
“We wanted to be able to be clever and smart. There’s moments within the game we’ve done that brilliantly.<\/p>\n
“We still have that mantra of applying pressure because that’s the best way of being dominant over teams, if you can put them under pressure.<\/p>\n
“I did enjoy the fact we were still scoring quite quickly especially when the ball was new.”<\/p>\n
New Zealander Stephen Fleming has been appointed as McCullum’s replacement but will not take charge until the winter tour of South Africa, leaving Trescothick as interim.<\/p>\n
Fleming was in contact with Root and Trescothick “every day” during the win over Pakistan. <\/p>\n
“He was adamant me and Joe take it on and just run with what we feel is right, to try and get the group back in shape, with a few pointers on what he wanted and how he could see his style being implemented within the group,” Trescothick said.<\/p>\n
Trescothick has worked with England as a batting and assistant coach since 2021, but former Australia coach Mike Hussey has been approached by Fleming to be batting coach when he takes over.<\/p>\n
Hussey worked with England under Michael Mott during their 2022 T20 World Cup win and with Fleming at Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n
Trescothick could move to a white-ball only role, where McCullum remains England coach, but said he would “love” to stay on with the Test side.<\/p>\n
“I want to be involved in all formats of the game because it’s a wonderful place to be,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Working with the best and seeing England cricketers do well. <\/p>\n
“That’s not really for me to judge so I’ll wait and see what happens.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After taking a wicket with the first ball of the Test, England dominated Pakistan across two and a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864390,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-864389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
