Why should Bell be dropped? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Because I think the team would show a more positive side with KP in the side. Bell can come in when Thorpe goes. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

A ODI side mainly needs quick scorers and big hitters. Whilst Bell can boast a lot of things, big hitting isn't one of them. I reckon he might suit the number 3 role well however in ODI's.

A test side needs players who can score. Fast scorers are very useful players as they can take a game away from the opposition in a the space of a session. However England already have two players who can do this, Flintoff and to a lesser extent Jones. Why do we need another player of the same calibre in there at the expense of someone who's main job would be to collect runs at a strike rate of a bit over 50. So far you cannot fault Bell for what he's done. He made a decent 70 against the West Indies and then put bangladesh to the sword in a way that Pietersen would have been struggling to compete with (100 runs in a session doesn't come easy no matter who your opposition is).

And in what way is Pietersen a better player than Bell? Maybe a stronger legside player allowing him to hit big shots when they're required in ODI's but as people have said he looks a bit doubtful outside his off stump and if a technical weakness is going to be found out it will be in a test match facing 4 world class bowlers (depends on if Gillespie plays of course icon_wink.gif)

Yeah, during the winter against England he smashed the ball around and hit some pretty big scores. He has been a bit rubbish for us though, although not as bad as Afridi was for us last season. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I was thinking that as well, until I saw this pic this morning. His ankle still looks pretty swollen to me, i'd be amazed if he's bowling on that in a couple of days.

Unless of course that was taken last week and he's all healed by now icon_wink.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That ankle isn't swollen too bad icon_frown.gif Mine was twice that size last week.

Vaughan's due a big score, which will probably mean he'll get out for 10.

And this bullying the new boy stuff is just rubbish. When I registered on here a couple of years back with the previous account and slated Jimmy Anderson like mad even though he was the poster boy for the new successfull English side I didn't get abused even though practically nobody else on here agreed with me at the start because I actually made some decent points against his inclusion in the team. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It's not rubbish at all. Just because it doesn't happen to every newbie, doesn't meean it doesn't happen. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
