Nicked this from Cricinfo after Friday's ODI. An interesting stat considering that England has played one dayer's since the start.
Quote:
Ian Bell is 65th on the all-time list of ODI run-scorers but, remarkably, that is sufficient for him to be England's leading run-getter in the format. When he drove a single down the ground to move to 98, he passed Paul Collingwood's record of 5092. Bell finished on 5136, still well short of the record holders from every ICC Full Member except Bangladesh. Even Zimbabwe has three men - Andy Flower, Grant Flower and Alistair Campbell - with a higher run tally than any England player.

Still can't work out why Bell did not get the Man-of-the-Match award even if he was in a losing side. It's not like it was a final or anything.
