A 6 from Trott!

Root start and out.

[PaulWinch again]

This is a bad pattern we're developing.

[PaulWinch again]

Morgan start and out, rubbish.

[PaulWinch again]

Buttler that is piss poor, people rave about his talent but I've seen one good innings in all his international games.

I think the pressure of chasing such a big total has got to us.

I remember the 1 over 29 from Buttler at Rdgbaston on a very cold September night last year so if he can put together a couple of those its England's match!

Bit late.

Thing is it's exactly the same pattern we've had in other situations. Lots of starts and not carrying through.

Well Buttler didn't last long, it's up to the mighty Bears pair to cause an upset.

[olaftab]

I really need to not post just as I have walked away from TV! Buttler will be remembered as that 1 over man!

[PaulWinch again]

Other than that one over you referenced Aftab, Buttler has done nothing at all in international cricket. How he gets in front of Prior I have no idea.

[olaftab]

Right school/university?

[PaulWinch again]

Maybe. England's thinking seems cluttered though, why is Bairstow good enough for the Test team when he's considered a big hitter and not good enough for ODI?

[olaftab]

I am not a fan of wholesale selection based on one dayer or test player. Other than one or two note able exceptions generally class counts in all forms of cricket.
