5 best players of spin from England

#4 Ian Bell

He batted at a number of positions for England throughout his illustrious career that lasted around 11 years from 2004 to 2015 and during that time, right-handed batsman Ian Bell proved to be one of the team's most dependable batsmen.

Due to his comfort against both pace and spin, he eventually became a middle-order batsman and remained one of the team's best players of spin bowling.

Bell was extremely quick with his feet and he was primarily an attacking batsman, which made it possible for him to unsettle the opposition spinners.

Although his average of 42.33 in the sub-continent is boosted by his exploits against Bangladesh in 2009-10 (average of 130.50), it must be kept in mind that he also negotiated Shane Warne well in the Ashes in both England and Australia.

On his last tour of India in 2012-13, Bell averaged 43 and made a superb century.
