Ian Bell said thanks, and goodbye.
Right, where do I start? Aside from the small detail of playing my final ever red ball game, I’ve needed this week to take everything in. The messages, calls, tweets, news articles, TV features etc, have been absolutely mind blowing and I can’t begin to thank everyone enough. pic.twitter.com/3DOZDyxfDX

The sheer number of kind words has been humbling and I won’t deny it’s been an emotional week.Thank you for everything. I will do my best to reply to as many messages as possible, but please accept my warmest thanks for making this one of the proudest weeks of my life x pic.twitter.com/Gch9OIIap5
