Ian Bell cracks a
century |
November 17, 2006
Middle order batsman, Ian Bell came up with a
fine century as England closed the second day’s
play against South Australia at 303 for 6. Along
with Ian Bell who scored 132, Paul Collingwood
has come good as well scoring a neat 80. Andrew
Flintoff on 6 and Geraint Jones on 14 were the
unbeaten batsmen at stumps as the tourists got
90 good overs for batting.
England had a awkward start in the morning as
they lost their overnight batsmen, Matthew
Hoggard and Alastair Cook in quick time to Shaun
Tait and Jason Gillespie respectively. But a
178-run partnership between Ian Bell and Paul
Collingwood took them to a solid 212 for 4.
Collingwood had worked hard for his 80 which
were scored in 172 balls with just 6 fours while
Ian Bell got his 132 from 240 balls with 12
fours and a six. Kevin Pietersen warmed up with
a breezy 32 which came from 35 balls with five
fours.
