Ian Bell makes double hundred

By Will 4 years ago, at the end of April Leave a comment on this post

Ian Bell has hit a double hundred against my team - couldn’t he have waited a week? Run Out for 231 - and, with Robert Key also making a hundred, and Pietersen looming ominously over both of them, some very, very tricky decisions have to be made. Key, Bell or Pietersen? Butcher is almost certainly out of the Bangladesh mini-series due to his injured wrist - and frankly, unless there’s a spate of injuries, this ought to be the end of his Test career. So there are potentially 2 positions available.

As much as I like Key, I feel Bell deserves the 2 Bangladesh Tests to just have a bat and aclimatise with the side. Pietersen, too, has to play…

    I meant Robert Key, wasn’t he one of the 5 cricketers of the year ? (I thought we had a debate earlier on that). Anyway this was just a witty remark, nothing serious :-) I haven’t seen enough of Bell and Pieterson.
