Former England captain Marcus Trescothick has been promised a whopping ufffd1 million bonus if he can achieve one of cricket's most elusive feats. The Somerset batsman will be given the huge sum if he can smash a ball over the historic Pavilion at Lord's in any 20 or 40-over game at the home of cricket. Australia's Albert Trott was the last person who managed to clear the 50-foot building way back in 1899 while playing for Marylebone Cricket Club. "I have no idea whether I can achieve that," Trescothick told The Sun. "I saw Kieron Pollard's massive shot at Lord's last summer. It is only a matter of time until someone else clears it."
