PCA Young Cricketer
of the Year 2004
Once described by Dayle Hadlee as the best 16-year
old he had ever seen, Ian Bell had been earmarked for greatness long
before he was drafted onto the England tour of New Zealand in
2001-02, as cover for the injured Mark Butcher. Tenacious and
technically sound, Bell is an opening batsman very much in the mould
of Michael Atherton, who was burdened with similar expectations when
he made his England debut a generation ago. And like Atherton, it is
Bell's mental attitude to the game that has set him apart from his
peers. He is particularly adept at leaving the ball outside off
stump, and he has received glowing reviews from coaches at every
stage of his development, not least from Rod Marsh at the England
Academy, a man not given to hyperbole. A former England U19 captain,
Bell had played just 13 first-class games when called into the
England squad, though in 2001 he scored 836 runs for Warwickshire at
an average of over 64, including three centuries. Amid all the
attention, Bell's form slumped, but by 2004 he was on his way back.
He finally made his Test debut against West Indies in August 2004,
stroking 70 in his only innings: days later he was left out of the
squad for that winter's tour of South Africa.
