Interesting interview with Ian Bell

Always interesting when a particular hero gets put up as the interview candidate by 'Team England' and apart from all the stuff about hoping to stay in the tournament long enough to get back to England with his wedding fully organised and the only requirement on his shoulders being to turn up in the right time at the right place ( I suppose people have turned up at the wrong venue for their own weddings ?!) I was interested to hear that he hopes to pick up player of the match awards in the remaining fixtures.

The surprise is in that I'd always imagined the players put the m o m money into the pool and that, as they always say, the result is the most important part.

Perhaps he fancies getting back to England by motorbike via the Channel tunnel!
