Bell-end
Well, that's why you're at number six Ian, you muppet. Out hooking, under no pressure whatsoever. Very reminiscent of Trent Bridge in 2005 when he heaped pressure on his teammates by hooking to backward square, straight down his throat. In fact how many times has Ian Bell cleared the ropes with that shot? He'd only been in for 2 overs and there was a hundred there for the taking, credit to Matt Prior for taking Bell's runs for himself and passing 2000 career runs. Fair enough, England needed to get the run rate but you're only 4 foot 6, what were you thinking???

He's done ok this series - there was a time when he could only score in a dead rubber and his contributions have (occasionally) been achieved at the sharp end for a while now. He has the 'class' but compared to Trott at three, there is a gulf between their mental abilities. In fact - look at all of the South Africans - Strauss, Pietersen and Trott - they all have a mental strength to just dig in and get runs, whatever the game. Bell can be great to watch but he's still not made of the right stuff for me. Not a number 6 for England - never mind a 4 or 5.
