Interestingly, Warne said that and not Slater. Plus, I remember 2011, i.e. the incurza era as a good period for Bell. Sadly because of the India 2011 home series double...
That was actually one of the best ashes series in Australia, usually they are one sided with horrible flat pitches and 43degree C sunny days, but that series was actually very good.
Lovely batsman to watch. England made a mistake by putting him in to open the batting when he was out of form, he should have had a longer career than he did. He was one of the main reasons we won the 2013 Ashes.
Bell nicked one on about 60 from memory, but the decision or DRS went his way. He still played well though and we weren't going to win anyway, we were absolute rubbish that summer.
Such a magnificent player with that Adidas sticker bat and pink handle!! Man I still remember how he destroyed India in 2011 just after their World Cup victory l
Was ironic hearing warnie commentate his wicket and talk up his first ton considering warnie terrorised him early on😂😂😂 bell was one batsman i actually liked from the poms, him- stokesy and root... i always liked stewart too but he wasnt all that good ( just liked his ability to bat anywhere)
SINGH why they were just in losing causes unlike Smith who is so much better than Kohli at tests and probs at cricket in general as test cricket is the hardest format. However I will admit that Kohli has a great odi record. And T20 is not a format that anyone cares about but anyway Kohli has a great record there. However Smiths average of 12 more runs in test cricket clearly puts him above Kohli at playing cricket. This was also clearly shown in the series vs Australia in 2017 where Smith scored 500 runs compared to Kohlis 47😂😂😂😂😂. Also Kohli always flops and chokes in big and deciding games unlike smith who lead his team to World Cup glory. E.g. WC semi final 2015 - Aus vs Ind - India chasing 330 thanks to a brialliant Smith century under pressure and in a big game - something Kohli can never do. India need to score at a very fast rate in order to win the match - Rohit and Dharwan get India of to a great start in the chase and India are looking as if they could win but then Kohli comes in when his team needs him to continue the momentum created by the openers, but Kohli feels the pressure of the situation and chokes to make 1 off 12 balls!!!😂😂😂😂 That flop show from Kohli effectively loses his team the game!!! This evidence presented above clearly shows that Smith is head and shoulders above Kohli at cricket
Potato that's what I said don't compare unorthodox player with a player like Kohli without eye hand coordination he is nothing Kohli, Williamson n root is far better than smith across all the formats of the game
Nyorm wth are you saying kohli is the best under pressure,I would bet my life on him and I respect smith but kohli has way more match winning knocks across all formats of the game
