NBC Denis Compton Award 1999, 2000, 2001 PCA Young Cricketer of the Year 2004 Awarded the MBE in 2005 When Ian Bell made his debut against the West Indies at Oval in 2004, he had not only to give a proof of his credibility as a talented cricketer, but also had the responsibility of giving credence to the scores of praises which many cricketing pundits had showered on him. Ian Bell did not fail, he went on to score a handsome 70. Ian Bell's technically correct approach to batting has led many to draw comparisons with Mike Atherton. His ability to concentrate for endless period of time, combined with his ability to leave the deliveries outside the off stump, makes him ideally suited for playing marathon innings. Ian Bell wonderful run in test cricket received a minor jostle, when England met Australia for Ashes. In ten innings he managed to score only 171 runs. The debacle must have helped in adding a few gray hairs of experience in his relatively early years of experience in test cricket. Same year, Ian Bell displayed remarkable maturity and top scored in the away series against Pakistan. Ian Bell had appeared in 13 first class games before being selected for the England team- a moment, many who had seen him play in early years had prophesized. Ian Bell also captained the England Under-19 side. He is seen as a potential captain for the future test side and is undergoing the necessary grooming.
