    He has been on the wrong end of a couple of shockers from the Umpires as well.

    I had a similar view of Bell

    But today he has done all that could have been reasonably expected. England had to build a good platform and not lose early wickets, then up the pace if things had gone well. which is preceisely what has happened.
    Its a real shame we lost a days play, or we would be very odds on to win. Now a draw is most probable.

    Jones having a good slog though!

    Cant have a team of shot makers ,

    Its all well and good when your luck is in , like Vaughan in the 1st innings , however you need a couple of grafters in the top 6 and we have Strauss and Bell.

    I am more than happy with the balance of the England team at the moment. I think we can bowl any team out in the world twice on any surface.

    RE: Cant have a team of shot makers ,

    Yeah i agree.

    Wasnt having a pop as such towards Bell. Just the way we needed to play the game at one stage today, he was taking his time to score much needed runs. But fair play to him, he has played well and scored more quickly towards the end.

    Probably going to be a draw now, there tail enders are in good form and we'll struggle to get them out quickly, as we will probably need to do tomorrow.
