frustrating for England fans as well
as much as hope wants to try and make out its some sort of personal vendetta against bell I actually like the guy , always liked watching him play , I just think he hasn't fulfilled anything close to his potential and am maybe overly critical of him as I think he is capable of so much better. I don't want bell dropped because I think he is not good enough, I know he is good enough, I want bell dropped because he isn't contributing and we cant just keep carrying someone averaging under 30 over his last 23-24 tests
the confusing thing is that when most players go through a form slump you can usually pin it on some technical flaw that has crept in and know if that gets resolved they can get back to scoring runs , with bell that never seems to be the case , he never really looks out of form so its a lot harder to to see what he has to do to change things
as you say every time he goes back to play for warks he excels so even saying playing more county cricket will help doesn't seem to be the answer
