Ugh, Bell makes a 50. Congratulations I suppose, but I find it hard to really mean it. Awful batsman.

Quality innings under immense pressure from Bell. Very well played.

Thought he's looked scratchy most of the time, with some very very ordinary footwork. But, he has battled well and I do like that. Hopefully he can make a hundred.


Another glorious shot by Fleming!

The best players of the series so far for mine have been Fleming, Sidebottom, Collingwood and Taylor (from those who have played all 3). Incidentally most of which would be in my top 5 favourite players in this series on a personal level.

Collingwood on, now we know Vaughan's getting desperate. Smashed for four 1st ball, that's going to ruin his average of 23 for his last 14 Test wickets or whatever it is.

Can't believe you can leave-out Strauss, Bell (M) and MSP TBH.

Cripes, there's been a ridiclous amount of short-leg fielders hit this game. I make that the 5th occasion.

And another four... y'know, if Fleming and Bell are still there at Tea, I honestly am going to start worrying that NZ might be in with a chance of saving this game.

Batting's never looked easier.

Hope Fleming reaches 50 and 54 before too long TBH.

Someone performing a transplant and putting Glenn Turner's hands, eyes (30 years ago), brain and trains in Bell IMO. I fear that the real Bell may be gone forever. :cry:

Fleming gets to his half-century. 3 more for that I$C$C-official overall average of 40. 111 more for a middle-order average against Test-standard teams of 40.

Right, as long as Bangladesh are not retrospectively stripped of Test status (ie, if I take over I$C$C) Stephen Fleming will now average 40 in Test-cricket.
