What I've seen of it today he's played very well, as did Lawrence.

Aye he looks well set.

Just heard on TMS Ian Bell is coaching England U19s. @blockerdave are you OK? Do you need us to call someone?

That's Sir Ian Bell to you.

That's Sir Ian Bell to you.

I'm imagining a group of kids coming through all playing the Ian Bell drive and averaging 30. Dave would have to be sectioned I reckon.

Probably has a tantrum whenever he watches Ollie Pope bat. Even better if they pick Sam Hain too

I don't think they're quite on the Bell scale yet.

We'll find out shortly anyway. @wasteyouryouth post calling him Sir will have set the alarm off at Blocker Towers

I'd be happy if Lawrence, Pope or anyone else came in and matched Bell's test match record.

There’s a difference in that Ollie Pope so far as I can tell has some character.

Ian Bell had none.

Tbh I’m homeschooling a 6-year old about Piet Mondrian, so if Ian Bell wants to come round and do that instead I’d be delighted.

(When I was 6, I was learning not to put the sticklebricks up my nose.)

Surely the Shermanator was a character?

Also, how good were sticklebricks, man

Belly had, you know, a lot of character and, you know, was happy to bat wherever if, you know, it suited, you know, the team. Could have been an England, you know, captain.

Beginning to think I was a weird six year old. I wanted to learn algebra and was badgering my mum to teach me to count in French and German.

That was also the year I discovered the delights of Cricket Captain after I begged my mum to buy the PS1 game from the Co-op
