One of England’s finest and so good on the eye. Hopefully I get to see a cover drive and pull over the next 4 days but only one of each!!! #GlamorganvWarwickshire @GlamCricket @WarwickshireCCC

Genuinely loved batting alongside this man. Fortunate to have had the best seat in the house on a few occasions. A Warwickshire and England great! Enjoy the next chapter mate! @ian_bell
Stay strong everyone…

Ian Bell's retirement means every English and Australian cricketer who played in the 2005 Ashes has now retired.
We are all so old

Far bigger stuff in his resume but will always love @Ian_Bell for this.
Broke his right foot before this game, taped it up & went out. Tore his left hamstring in the 1st over. Couldn't play Cricket for 3mths after this.
Yet scored a match-winning 50https://t.co/0IeN6mxyhx
