Top knock from Ravi and Josh so far but this will be a glorious loss!

If Buttler can stick around who knows? Need to survive a couple from Malinga though!

And a stone throw from Slinga gets rid of Buttler

Buttler shows he's got the fibre to cope under pressure which wilted the more experienced players.

That has to be one of the best one day innings by an English batsman ever.

If we hadn't spent 20 overs without scoring a boundary we'd have probably won that.

Well played Jos Buttler.

Credit to Malinga too.

He will always divide opinion. The fact is his action has been classed as legal so what a one day bowler.

A right arm over bowler who chucks it from umpire's right shoulder ... Well done to batters over the years for coping with him.

Didn't see the cricket but that knock from Buttler, and more importantly the mental strength he showed is why I'd be looking at getting him into the test side soon, he's got that determination that a few of the England players have shown they're missing.

Buttler could be our Adam Gilchrist over time, 1 session and he could take the game away from opponents.

Agreed. He is a more skilful batsman than Gilchrist however it was strength of character that made Aussie into the formidable foe. Let's hope Buttler has that.

Buttler will be a top player in our Test side within a couple of years.

I mentioned in the Bears thread the ton for Stoneman for Durham but tons every where today:
Yorks 136 & 237-0 Lyth 116*, Lees 105* v Northants 251

Durham 411 - 4 Borthwick 164* plus Stonemans who i mentioned earlier

Somerset 312-3 @ Lancs Petersen 109*

Notts 384-5@ Sussex Samit Patel 126*

Worc 329-4 @ Surrey Moen Ali 138*

Some good performances today allied with some decent weather and i assume decent tracks.

Buttler has indicated he's not ready for Tests yet.
