http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597, the top-order English batsman, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of his coach and mentor, Neal Abberley, the English County Cricket star, who has been a key force behind nurturing Bell’s professional skills and
competencies that have made the batsman a renowned figure in International cricket. Bell shared that he and Abberley had a father-son relationship and the latter was very kind to him.
The English batsman aired these views in a special column for a local newspaper on the eve of his coach’s death . Abberley died on August 8, after a prolonged period of heart and lung disease.
As a mark of respect for Abberley, all the English players are playing their 3rd Test against India with black armbands and Bell claims that this is every emotional match for him as he is unable to rub the sweet memories
of the deceased from his mind.
Bell started learning cricket from Abberley at the age of nine. Now, the batsman credits his coach for everything he has achieved in the world of cricket. He says that he will never be able to forget his teacher.
Abberley spent his whole cricket career with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862, a county club and never moved to any other team despite having many lucrative offers. He started his county career in 1964 with First-Class cricket and quit in 1979, after
playing 261 First-Class and 133 List A games as a right-handed batsman.
Bell reveals that Abberley used to advise him to become a star batsman and always think of amassing big scores.
In his column, Bell has also presented a clarification about his dramatic out-and-recall incident, that took place in the 2nd Test match of the ongoing series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at Trent Bridge. He has sworn that he did not
left the crease for taking a run and was just going to greet his partner who hit a boundary.
Bell, who piled up 159 runs with the help of 24 fours in the last match, is confident of replicating the same performance in the 3rd Test.
