Iirc Bell averaged 42 and for a player of his calibre that’s about ten shortThat's definitely one of the 15 things that might happen to make people say it, yeah.
Bell is miles ahead of Pope. Bell's average is far higher and probably played in a better era for bowlers. If Pope gets 20 test hundreds I'll eat my hat.We found him very frustrating back in the day. Pope hasn’t had Bell’s high points it’s true.

He won't be happy with Pope's shot or England's conversion rate since the start of last summer getting even worse.Two Yorksbiremen in now.
Boycott would be happy.
Just joking, he's never happy.
Given that he has six hundreds so far I'll make it a stovepipe hat.Noted
what type of hat have you got ?

He wouldn't be happy with Brook and Root playing these fancy ramp shots,He won't be happy with Pope's shot or England's conversion rate since the start of last summer getting even worse.
Bell was early 2000s till around 2016 ishPope has played in a harder era than Bell
Freddie Trueman would have bit his pipe in halfHe wouldn't be happy with Brook and Root playing these fancy ramp shots,
Maybe India and NZ have better attacks now but Pakistan and Sri Lanka had vastly better attacks then. Australia, South Africa and West Indies about the same.Pope has played in a harder era than Bell
