IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

Cricketer Of The Year
On Ian Bell, I don't know if it was him getting out after getting a start that was the most frustrating thing for posters here at the time as much as it was a penchant for truly abominable dismissals, particular very early in his innings. This one, for example, but also this one, and this might be the worst of them, though this is far from an exhaustive list.
He also had a knack for being the not out guy in some of England's lollapses. Or was it just the 51a.o. against West Indies?

Will Jacks passes up the opportunity to get a first international century against Ireland. Therefore he gets on here!

Followed by Sam Hain. Ireland managed to avoid an entry with what must be one of the higher ODI scores without a fifty.

Hope you're doing alright. How many times is that now?
3rd time. The last couple of days has not been fun but I am getting better now. It felt worse than the last time but nowhere close to the first when I thought my lungs were done for. I guess nearly two years from the last means less immunity.

It's definitely doing the rounds again. Still not definitively had it, although my wife had a second dose in August.

I reckon I had a mild version in April that turned into a chest infection, which was a lot worse.

In fairness there is no reason to test when the effects are an annoying chest infection. There are plenty of folk who have been unwell around my work place but I think I got a at a party last Saturday. However, I will be reluctant to go nearer my mum or other older folk zi know anytime too soon.

Same with our work

Had someone turn up at our running group recently who was still testing positive. She struggled on the run that day but ran a half a week later.

It would be impertinent of me not to mention that the first entry of the 2023 world cup is from possibly the second most appropriate person. Step forward, JE Root!

None other than Virat Kohli gets a mention after his effort of 85 yesterday. Yep, he could have been out early but once he got in he put the Australians to the sword and really should have got over the line. For that, he gets an entry here!

85 is far beyond a pretty lil 50 though, isn't it? This should be exclusively for 50-65 type innings I feel.
I see your point, although when I first initiated the predecessor thread elsewhere, it was thought that all non-converted scores of 50+ were in scope. Harsh I know, but that is how it developed!

Nothing was pretty about that. It was just gritty.

70 should also be included.
