Ian Bell (Warwickshire)

After having a woeful Winter, Ian Bell was under considerable pressure as he lined out for Warwickshire ahead of the series with West Indies. With the likes of Broad, Swann, Trott and Finn all producing the goods for their counties along with KP’s fine form in the IPL, the 30 year old was in desperate need of time in the middle and runs. After failing once again at Liverpool in both innings, Bell produced a trade mark innings of 120 against Durham as the Bears continued their excellent start to the season. If that wasn’t enough to silence his critics and any whispers of being axed from the England side, he smashed 82* as Warwickshire beat Northants in the CB40.
