Busy morning at Wantage Road. Rikki Wessels scores 88 at better than a run a ball (as ever a thorn in our side) and then the last 5 Worcs wickets tumble for 7 runs. Still overcast and humid so we may well struggle to surpass 219.

Only one game being played.

Ian Bell seems to be struggling for runs. Wonder how long he'll go on for. The last of the 2005 side.

It's strange with him. Most people would say he has more natural ability than Collingwood but the latter had a really successful end of career in county cricket whereas Bell struggles. He had that bad injury last year and I think this mini-season will be tough for a lot of batsmen but his post-England career has not gone well.

Did he? Collingwood had one great year when you got relegated, and followed it by averaging like a tailender. I'd be surprised if he got near a season FC average of 40 in any year after he stopped for England, bar that one year in Div 2

Bell had a couple of meh seasons, but also had a superb season before the knee injury.

I'd be quite confident Bells average would be higher

I haven't checked the stats but Colly kept extending his contract because he felt in good enough form. He planned to retire the year after the last title win because he didn't get many runs that year and his contract was out at the end of the next season. He did well the next year and changed his mind, then kept going for a few more years. The last one turned out to be one too far.

Guess the stats to a large extent wont serve as a good comparison.... averaging 30 at CLS is like 35-40 elsewhere it seems.

Both averaged mid thirties in the CC since International retirement both having 1 stellar season. Given Bell agewise was in his mid thirties and Colly his forties during this period and one batting half the time at Edgbaston, the other at the Riverside those parallel averages don't tell the whole story. Colly's influence and leadership at Durham was massive; can't see Bell being likewise at Warwickshire.

Bell had a terrific T20 Blast a couple of seasons ago. Think he scored well over 500 runs in that comp, yet he never struck me as being much of a T20 player. I think Colly had a good tournament that year too, both with bat and ball... did we get to the final that year, or was that the year before?
