I don't think they do vilks. It's the height of jocularity to say it.

He is so ridiculously overdue for a big score, it's got to be just around the corner.

If I had played against Australia 12 times and never got a big score, would I be overdue for one? No, because I'm shit.

Each for their own interpretation.

You honestly think, even after watching him batting in this series that he will score big if he is picked?

Form is temporary, class is permanent, and he's overdue for a hundred, probably a big one.

You missed the main point here Zatty.

Your in the main born with a set of testicles if your male, and hence some sort of testicular fortitude. Unfortunately this is also permanent, and Bellhop didn't get any!!

So a hundred won't be happening against Oz if picked, and perhaps not ever against the Aussies!

This really is the Ian Bell Hate Club HQ, isn't it?

Zat.

The problem is, if he was an Aussie you would hate him more than us!

Fortunately, you Aussies have it lucky, because someone like Bell would not have got 40 odd tests, let alone 15 tests for Aus.

Yes, and I say the bloke isn't finished yet. He deserves another chance. He has an MBE after all...

And then you ruined it with the final ccomment! That is the most undeserved MBE both during and after ever handed out I would suggest.

Thye bloke won't be finished, as we only play you lot for 10 tests every 4 years. There are plenty of soft runs against the rest for him to come.

He should be finished for a couple of years if he fails again at The Oval, He'll be averaging 20 since his 199!!

You just know that someone who loooks as good as Bell does at the crease is going to score big







eventually

Bell doesn't even score big in Scrabble.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

It's one of those things that I assumed was a truth to be held as self evident

with those performances 3 of the 4 have sewn up their selection for the Oval...the Rat Faced Shermanator OBE scored his single in sparkalarkaly style, Cook was assured and Onions bowled with his customary penetration...Bops' score was compiled steadily albeit in a stodgy style that may not help the pomgolians bat at the rapid rate necessary to secure a result at the Oval.

Did some of you guys actually think zat was being serious re Bell on page 2?

Or were you all out NSRing each other?

But seriously, Bell should play. He's just gritted out some runs, man's back in form.

Furri, Bell is all class. You're right, he must play.

**zat, horrie and furri in total agreement shocker**.

The RFS OBE must be among the first picked at Oval

Sage. Can someone start a thread about Andrew Hilditch?

he already averages 19.85 since

What about Bopara? Is he the next Ian Bell for England?
