Mumbai have also got de Kock, so Buttler has probably got to get past him as well.......

Buttler batted 3 in the big bash for renegades in 2013.

Can he not open himself?

Plenty of stumpers have, gilchrist being the obvious one.

De Kock is a double Dee

Billings and de kock at Delhi. May hamper billings chance of playing as the stumper

[Aussie In England]

Buttler could be playing just as a batter TBH. He's not the best keeper around and Singh is a half decent spinner. Can't be affording too many missed chances on those small Indian grounds.

Billings might be third choice keeper behind both QdK and Samson

He's better than Parthiv...

You'd think that Anderson, Pollardv, Southee and Malinga would be the first picks.

Malinga is a walking injury I'd be surprised it he gets too many games.

Yeah, but that's how they'll start, perhaps?

I think Buttler should play... I reckon Punter is trying to ease the pressure on Jos. The high cost overseas signings don't generally warm the bench for too long.

Punter gotta a tricky job on his hands. Pollard and Malinga are favourites of the owners and the fans. But both have been injured since the last IPL. They probably don't merit selection but Punter's hands might be tied...
