Tresco gained a reputation for consistent heavy scoring despite rarely converting 50s to 100s: critics grimaced at his lack of footwork and limitations as a player... but respected the fact that consistently scoring 50+ scores is far, far more valuable to a side than racaking up 200 in one innings and then doing diddly-squat elsewhere.

I'd love to see Bell average 40-50 against all opposition for a period of 12 years without hitting any more centuries EVER: that would mean he's reliable... and that's something ANY side needs.
