Bairstow looked like a walking wicket. As soon as he came out windies looking to angle to ball in and wait for him to play a stupid shot.How is he so highly rated by the England setup?
Bell's stats are padded up by bullying subcontinent teams in England, often hiding at 5/6. Read on another forum that Bell averaged over 70 against Bangladesh/India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka in England. Throw into the mix he scored 10 centuries in 38 innings at home against poor travelling teams. Bell was vastly overrated on the basis he very elegant/easy on the eye. Bell's average of 42 shows that he was a pocket holder for the other superior batsmen. In yeaers to come, when historians speak about us reaching world #1, Bell will merely be a footnote
42.. what’s our nearest current test avg in this match barring root?? 35/6?? 42 looks quite good suddnely
Bell would struggle to average 22 against Australia let alone 42. His ship sailed along time ago
