Ode to Ian Bell

O Belly, Belly.
Your off-drive is a dream.
You have scored Test centuries in Faisalabad, Chester-le-Street and Leeds.
And who can forget your 135 against Lungley and Dumelow at Derby in 2001?
Belly.
Giant amongst pigmies.
And let's not forget yout nifty spell of medium-pace against Middlesex at Lord's in 2004.
Four for four.
Devastating.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Don Bradman.
O Ian Ronald Bell.
You have scored runs all over the universe.
But Belly,
Will you ever do what Tavare did in 1981?
Score a Test ton in Delhi.
