Australia's plan for Bell

[GuyFromLancs]

He must have scored 450 of his 560 runs down at third man...........and some here say Michael Clarke is a genius

Yeah, but he does so after getting set, and spreading the field.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

i think you missed a comma: the ****, he has!!!

in regard to bell, where we did fail was allow his ****ty little late cuts to rake in plenty of easy bitch runs. bowl short to the ****.

You failed by bowling at him, period

 

[Riggins]

Look I know Bell had a good series but let's not pretend runs scored of Uvo's bowling are hard to come by.

What amuses me is that the current crop think they can just insult him and he'll cave like he did in 05.

Problem is, this Aus attack ain't the 05 one

 

[Riggins]

Are we still talking about uVelocity?

 

[GuyFromLancs]

The chancers in your bowling attack

And Watto (3 centuries and a batting average close to Hick's)

 

[Spark]

pretty sub-par banter this. a poor debut

it's no quiney 9, that's for sure

 

[Maximas]

Hopefully this time Bell gets bored like normal.

I think you've summed up the plan in its totality here.

It's probably better than a McGrathless 05 attack tbh.

Guy From Lancs plainly a multi of Cricket Webcomics, such is his comedic genius.

Would bowl a fourth stump line to him, with a third man in once he's set. Try to drag him across, but not bowl the straighter one more than every 3-4 overs.

I read the second line and was looking for the punchline. Thought you were talking about GuyFromLancs. Serious.

 

[Burgey]

It's a solid plan. Would work for both of them I reckon.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

This place is choc full of smartass bellends. You can't blame a guy for trying to fit in

 

[Burgey]

You've got to earn the right to be aggressive

 

[Flem274*]

GuyFromLancs really booming through the crease here.

Now here is a guy with shots off both feet.

Nope. Warne on his own > *

It'll be interesting to see what Australia's plans to Bell are. This isn't intended as a criticism but Bell was the one England batsman who Australia didn't seem to have a plan to. Whether it's because Bell was just in good form or not I don't know, but Australia seemed to either come in with a plan, or very quickly work out a plan to every batsman bar Bell.

 

[Burgey]

Tbf they've never needed one for him before.
