Well, we're not going to find out who could replace Bell unless he makes way for someone else. Rather than gift Bell some cheap runs at home to the W Indies [read NZ away] this spring, this is the opportunity to ease Ben Stokes or Jos Buttler or Jonny Bairstow into Test cricket. Otherwise you're just rewarding Bell for his failures, leaving potential replacements having to face S Africa or India away [read Australia at home] for their debuts. Fck me. Nearly a year on and we're right back where we started. |

Well fair play to the lad, batted well and definitely surprised me as looked all at sea up until today.

More cheap runs for Bell .That should cement his place for another 2 years

I love watching Bell bat ( when he makes runs! ) but I agree with Screaming. His average is padded with cheap runs against the lesser lights. For a long time he never made the first century of the inning. His incosistency will stop the team developning and I think others deserve a chance particularly against NZ as The Convicts are coming up in the summer. We already know what we need to know about Bell.

How much longer must we tolerate this ignorant, dismal dwarf?
9.4 I Sharma to Bell, OUT, caught at third-man! Oh there comes a wicket! Bell, from nowhere, decides to give Ishant a charge and tries to hit it straight down the ground. But he doesn't really get to the pitch of the ball and it takes a healthy top-edge that goes high towards third-man where Bhuvi takes a well-judged catch IR Bell c Kumar b I Sharma 10 (25b 2x4 0x6) SR: 40.00 |

Can I also add the names of Morgan and Dernbach to Bell's as players who should not be in the current team.
Hales should be opening instead of Bell, but England think he is only a 20/20 player so that's that one over before it starts. The last time England played in sub continent Morgan had a nightmare so well done England for putting him through it again Dernbach - lol, I still cannot believe how on earth he has blagged his way into international cricket!!! Giles has not impressed me at all with his selections so far...... |

All of this on Bell,wept.
You can add Patel to the list. |

How can you compare bell to morgan, dernbach, patel etc? Bell nas played about eighty tests ffs and has stood up to be counted, inder pressure, I mean reall delivered, what three, four times? Morgan was awful against pakistan and got dropped. bell was equally clueless and has played ever since (bar a short omission to see the birth of his child which he missed anyway) and has done little in that period. Talking test cricket here. Morgan clearly deserves his place in the one day team for now.

75 in just under 6 hours, which took 271 balls, is the point of Ian Bell, when most importantly, it was needed. He has been out of form, which happens to everyone at some time or another.

Great disciplined innings from Bell - obviously out of form he dug in to give England a chance of saving the game.

Well done to bell yesterday. I think that is now 4 fighting innings under pressure in nine years.

another pathetic series by this world class batsman
, don't worry he,ll be back amongst the runs against sri lanka I suppose |

Pretty sure without Bell, Aus would be looking at back to back 5-0 Ashes wins... He won you the Ashes in England off his own bat, with zero help from anybody.
