Mark Butcher will open with Trescothick and the pressure will be on the Surrey batsman to do well in India. After smashing a match-winning 173 not out at Headingley in the recent Ashes series, there will be high expectations on this left-handed batsman. Butcher is not a batsman who uses his feet to the spinners and against the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble, he is bound to struggle. In the tour match against MCA XI in Mumbai, Butcher was all at sea against the spin attack, almost giving the impression that he was walking through a minefield. But then he (Test average of 28.96) carries a lion-heart and his match-winning ability might come in to play at some point in the Test series.
