Amiss, Kallicharran, Bell, Pilling.

By Brian Halford on Sep 22, 09 11:28 AM

Old Trafford is a happy hunting ground for Ian Bell. In 2004 there he scored a century in each innings - 112 and 181 - two high-class knocks which, along with a Dougie Brown ton, dug Nick Knight's side out of a hole and earned a draw which inched them closer to the championship title.

It was only the 16th and, as it stands, last time that a Warwickshire player has scored two centuries in a championship match. Only two Bears - Dennis Amiss and Alvin Kallicharran - have achieved the feat twice. Only a matter of time, surely, before Bell joins them on that list.

Only two players have managed it twice against Warwickshire - Glenn Turner and Bill Athey.

Others to have done it once against the Bears include Jack Hobbs, Johnny Tyldesley, Eddie Paynter, Ken Barrington, Tom Graveney, Robin Boyd-Moss and, this season of course, Marcus Trescothick.

Richard Williams and Harry Pilling did it too.
