What, the one where we lose 3 early wickets, and are 30-3 ???McBobbin said:This is exactly the sort of match where bell will score heavily
a little bit of pressure so he keeps his concentration but not too much. See the last but one ashes. 1 -
Sorry, dont accept that at all. In the Ashes of 2013, England were under a lot of pressure in the batting, and Bell came out with an average of 60+, scoring 3 centuries and 2 fifties, some 20 runs per innings more than the next batsman (KP) - and yet you still have to have a little go at him - what else has he got to do ??!! score a century in every innings he plays??.McBobbin said:

Really gets to me that everyone seems to have to have a pop at every Englnad player for whatever reason-even when he scores a bloody century !!0 -
I was complimenting him! He was awesome in that series. I reckon he will do well in this series too... England under pressure after the world cup, he will step upThe_President said:

Bell almost gets himself caught on 98 but it goes through the slip fielder and he gets his 100.

WI don't take the new ball yet.
They do take it just one over later.0 -
I dont think anyone is doubting Bell is a quality test batsman. probably even the best we have right now... but he should not have been in the one day team for a good few years now imo...0

It's all Bell's fau...........oh, alright3
-
There was a time when you could imagine Tredwell batting 7 for England on merit. Now his batting will only be remembered for his attempt to hit Ravi Ashwin for six to win the Champions Trophy1

(It wasn't a very convincing attempt)1

not sure Yorkshire will feel a conspiracy with WoodAddick Addict said:Cook
Trott
Ballance
Bell
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Jordan
Broad
Tredwell
Anderson
So, Bairstow, Lyth, Plunkett, Rashid and Wood left out. The Yorkshire supporters will feel that there is a conspiracy against them!

Probably not - but he might well take the Durham to Yorkshire route a la Plunkett. Just the six Tykes in the squad so one of them had to play!cafcfan1990 said:

Talking of Yorkshire and bowlers I see Jack Brooks has taken three of the first four wickets to fall in the second innings of their game against Worcester giving him figures so far of 8-70. He was, I believe, in the top two or three wicket takers in the Championship winning side last season but, at almost 31 now, is unlikely to figure in the England side of the future.0 -

Yes but picking Wood for Ballance or Root would really have caused a stir wouldn't it ;-)cafcfan1990 said:

20-3 off 13 overs in the first hour.
Windies "intent" has been to be disciplined, bowl in the right areas and wait for us to make a mistake. And we have duly obliged!0 -
Broad swiftly follows guiding the ball to gully.
361-9 and 20-4 today1 -
Not been a good first hour for England. Hopefully Jordan and Jimmy can push us up to 400.0
-
They need to declassify the spot-fixing game's Test status, not because of the spot-fixing but because Broad scored 177 in a single innings4
-
It is now almost two years and some 60 innings since Cook scored a ton in a Test or ODI.
Still, no doubt he will prove himself to be a modern day Brearley when we come to field.2
