Ian Bell joins as batting consultant

Carrying on in the pretty flawless start to his stay at Derbyshire, Mickey Arthur has indeed secured the services of Ian Bell as batting consultant, initially for the first two months of the season.

For Bell it is a chance to get county coaching experience on his CV. One of the finest batsmen of his generation, the Derbyshire players can learn from one of the best and will doubtless benefit from the experience.

Mal Loye has now left the club and of course we wish him well in his future endeavours. 

There is a pretty remarkable look to a coaching team that also includes Ajmal Shahzad as bowling coach and their collective impact on a small but talented can only be beneficial.

On to Lord's and I will be back later to preview that one.

  1. Think it’s a fantastic appointment and with it being short term both parties can assess if it works. I personally think this season for success we need the batting unit to bat as a unit. There no questions regarding the talent and ability of all individual. Think that be really interesting if him and Arthur can achieve that.
