Ian Bell is sure Ben Stokes will bounce back from his World Twenty20 final heartbreak and is predicting a bright future for England.Bell was preparing for the start of the County Championship season while England were suffering defeat at the hands of the West Indies in Kolkata, where Stokes conceded four successive sixes against Carlos Brathwaite in the final over.But the veteran batsman feels that last-over shocker should not detract from a positive season for England, and Bell is predicting more success in the future. It was an amazing final but obviously gutting for the guys, and for Stokesy at the end, Bell told Sky Sports News HQ.They have played so well through the winter, in all formats of the game, and it was a shame not to get over the line. The future looks good, these players are going to play for a long time. Credit to the West Indies as well, they played well throughout the tournament. Marlon Samuels had more to say about Ben Stokes following West Indies win Stokes implosion was the focus of most of the headlines on Monday morning, but Bell says the Durham all-rounder is strong enough to bounce back from a final that left him in tears.He added: Ben was the one guy who fronted up. When you put yourself in that position it can go either way, but I think he will learn from it and thats part of playing at the highest level.There are going to be highs and lows. This is a low but he will bounce back, hes a strong, tough guy, hes had a fantastic winter going right back to that innings he played at Cape Town. This is a little blip and hopefully he, and the team, will come back stronger from it. Stokes enjoyed a superb winter in South Africa, where he made a Test-best 258 in Cape Town The experience of being in a world final and not getting over the line will make them hungrier, especially with tournaments coming to this part of the world. Youve got to learn from that experience and then go one step further when its here in England.The way they have played, in particular that South Africa game which was a real momentum shift, the way Rooty has played they will take a lot of confidence from it. I know there will be a lot of focus on the last over but away from that I think it has been a very successful winter for England and they can build a lot on that.For the first time in years, Bell had the winter to himself after being left out of Englands Test series in South Africa, but the 33-year-old (he turns 34 this weekend) says he does not feel done with international cricket. Ian Bell hopes to get back into the England squad Bell will captain Warwickshire in domestic cricket this season and hopes to be in the runs early on to get back into the picture for summer series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.I would love to have been out in South Africa for the Test series but it has been nice to have a break, not pick up a bat for a couple of months. I feel really excited by the season thats about to start, he said. For me its about concentrating on Warwickshire, enjoying the captaincy, things are a little bit different there, and scoring runs. If Im winning games for Warwickshire Ill put my name in the hat to be talked about. Weve got a good side, with everyone available, which is quite exciting as well.Also See:County build-up LIVEMorgan: Dont blame BenSamuels: Stokes never learnsYorkshire embracing pressureChicago White Sox Shirts .

White Sox Jerseys China .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team.HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A judge on Wednesday awarded more than $5 million to a former Penn State assistant football coach over his treatment by the university following Jerry Sanduskys arrest on child molestation charges five years ago.Judge Thomas Gavin ruled in favor of Mike McQuearys whistleblower claim, adding to a jurys $7.3 million verdict issued last month for defamation and misrepresentation.Only when the Sandusky Matter became public was Mr. McQueary subjected to disparate treatment and adverse employment consequences, Gavin wrote. He said the decision to order McQueary to keep out of athletic facilities after placing him on administrative leave with pay was the equivalent of banishment.The judge said McQueary was humiliated in several respects, including being told to clean out his office in the presence of Penn State personnel, an action that suggests he had done something wrong and was not to be trusted.McQueary has testified that in February 2001 he reported to then-head coach Joe Paterno and to two high-ranking administrators that he had just seen Sandusky, at the time retired as the schools defensive football coach, sexually abusing a boy in a team shower. Those officials did not contact police, but when investigators began looking into new complaints about Sandusky nearly a decade later, someone suggested they interview McQueary.McQueary has testified he heard sexually suggestive sounds when he went into the locker room late on a Friday night, then saw Sandusky abusing the boy in the shower. He did not physically intervene but said the two separated and he left the athletics facility, highly disturbed by what he had witnessed.Gavin concluded that Penn State retaliated against McQueary. He said the university has never publicly acknowledged that McQuearys reports to Paterno, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz were done following the schools policy.ddddddddddddSuch recognition would have gone a long way toward reducing the opprobrium visited upon him and the resulting humiliation he suffered, Gavin wrote.McQueary has been a particular target for criticism over the past five years, as strong feelings about the Sandusky scandal have divided the university community. He has not been able to find a job, either in the coaching field or even entry-level retail positions. He had been making $140,000 annually as an assistant football coach.Sandusky was convicted of several crimes over the shower encounter McQueary witnessed, though Sandusky was acquitted of the most serious charge of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.A spokeswoman for Penn State said the school was reviewing its options. Messages left for McQueary and his lawyer, Elliot Strokoff, were not immediately returned.McQuearys lawsuit included claims for defamation, misrepresentation and violations of legal protections for whistleblowers. Jurors in the trial, held last month in the courthouse near Penn States campus, awarded him $7.3 million for defamation and misrepresentation.Gavins ruling, which pertained to the whistleblower part of the case, granted McQueary nearly $4 million in lost wages. The judge also said he felt the jurys decision was insufficient and not binding, so he added $1 million in noneconomic damages.McQueary will also get a bonus issued to other coaches for the Ticket City Bowl he missed after he was suspended, as well as his legal fees and costs.Sandusky, 72, is serving 30 to 60 years in state prison and is pursuing appeals.
