Ian Bell commends English bowlers and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 - Cricket News Update
English opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597 gave glowing tribute to his bowlers and attributed his team’s recent success to their bowling attack. The top-order batsman also praised his opening partner, English captain Alastair Cook and termed him a reason for his recent success
with the bat.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 player was speaking after the home side handed a comprehensive defeat to the visiting Australian side, while clinching the five ODI NatWest series 4-0.
"Our bowling has been absolutely unbelievable these last two series, so we haven't actually had to chase too many big scores. It's taken a bit to get through those two new balls, and then really cash in," Bell added.
The Poms have finally shown remarkable success in the limited overs cricket after becoming the top Test side last year. They not only secured their seventh successive home ODI series but further extended their unbeaten ODI run to 10 matches this year.
Earlier, after the defeat at Old Trafford, Australian Captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 was also in-praise of the hosts’ bowling department which is now widely considered as the best in the world.
"There are a lot of good teams at the moment but I think England's bowling attack is as good as there is in the world," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 admitted.
The depth and talent in the England’s bowling department has impressed and inspired everyone alike. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449 and Chris
Woakes sitting in the sidelines waiting for their turn.
Bell also commended Cook, his skipper and new batting partner to have contributed in his batting in a positive way and said that playing with him was a pleasing experience something he relishes.
"I've really enjoyed it, and I think we've [Bell and Cook] done pretty well as an opening partnership. We complement each other, and I've enjoyed that partnership as much as scoring runs myself,” the 30-year-old said.
The right-hander was recalled into the English side to fill the opening slot after a shock decision by fellow teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 to retire from ODI cricket.
However, Bell has placed himself well as an opener and was the highest scorer against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, emerging as Player of the Series, amassing 189 runs at the average of 47.25.
