Ian Ronald Bell the England and Warwickshire batsmen is feeling wanted by his England team-mates. Although being dropped by county and country in the last three months he has gained his inner belief and at a young age of 25 he has become a very reliable batsmen at number three, over the past weeks in his short One Day International (ODI) career. With a respectable number of stats. His first ODI was vs Zimbabwe on Sunday 28th Nov 2004, since then he has played 26 matches in his favourite position of 3rd batsmen position with 874 runs under his belt and his highest score of 88 which is disappionting for his rare talent and with a average of 34.96 and with six times he has scored a half-century but still he lacks the skill of his soon wanted century and a very honourable SRR of 67.18 and with this he has be trusted with the 3rd batsmen position in the ODI for England over the gone weeks.
He feels at his best at number three; "number three suits my game more then other positions and if i had a choice three is where i would to bat" said Ian and he belives he can expand his talent at number 3 and he is feeling most confident at the moment; "Batting at number three in one-day cricket feel's definitely the best at the minute" said Bell. His form and the backing of the selectors was comformed gain when he scored 56 a top score for england in the opening match of the summer vs West Indies, in which England won by 79 runs over the tourist. Hopefully he fulfills the selectors ambitions which are following him through his ODI career.
