What is the point of Ian Bell ?
I'm not a fan of knee jerk team selections and dropping players after only a few tests, so England's recent policy of giving players plenty of time to prove themselves, such as Bell, as mainly been a good one.
However, the likes of Morgan, Bairstow, Taylor and Patel must be wondering why they haven't received the same treatment that Bell has over the years?
Yes, I agree that Bell looks classy technically, but he's more and more beginning to look like a Hick or a Ramprakash, who were also players who looked world-class when on top of their game, but who, generally, never had the mental toughness for test cricket.
