I was looking through Ian Bell's stats and noticed a striking similarity to Steve Waugh:
Batting at V:
If England resist the temptation to put Bell at the top of the order, can he become the English Waugh? Bell has mirrored him very accurately so far, now all he needs is an off-spinning brother who bats at III.
Batting at V:
- Bell averages 51.00. Waugh averages 56.28.
- Bell has scored 2244 runs in 52 innings. Waugh scored 6754 in 142 innings.
- Bell's top score is 199. Waugh's top score is 200.
- Bell has 8 not out innings. Waugh has 22 not out innings.
- Bell has 9 tons. Waugh has 24 tons.
