    I really hope Bell gets a good score

    not sure why, but I have a lot more time for him than Cook, they are both equally capable of a disappointing series of innings, but there seems to be more emotion and passion in Bell. That has probably put the curse on him like.

    Cook is about as uninspiring a cricketer as there's ever been. Make for a freakishly wooden captain akin to Atherton without the ball tampering.

    I've never thought much to Bell but I keep getting told how talented he is.

    About time he showed it - again the series against Bangladesh has kept his average at a decent number. Scary when you compare scores v those countries and Australia, SA & India etc.

    I still don't think he's a number 3, though.
