Whoa there! Butler doesn't seem the kind. What happened ? Was it his wicket or he run someone out?

No, the bloke who writes "f**k it" on the handle of all his bats doesn't seem the sweary type at all, does he!
He just hides it well I think

Does he?! You know the rules - pictures or...

ESpnCricinfo reports that something was said to him when he was judged out after review.

"After Bangladesh celebrated uproariously and Buttler took a drink of water before departing, something that was said riled him. He swung back in fury and was ushered away by the umpires. There were more words at end-of-match handshakes, England's fury unabated. The match referee could well take an interest."

If you give the departing batsman a mouthful you should have no complaints when the batsman gives it back

But yes the match referee is going to get involved...

Butler could be replaced by Stokes as captain and then it really will kick off.

I like Jos Butler, let him captain the ODI series (and T-20i) - man's got mad skills.

Benji is the fearless captain material though. He should be groomed to captain all three format. Let Root, Cook, and others to focus on breaking records.

No pictures sadly, you'll have to take Michael Vaughan 's word for it

Right where's the sharpie. Think of a saying and start marking it on bat handles.

I've just written 'imagine a nude Eva Green is bowling pies so smash it and smash her later'

Can't wait for the 2017 season....

I was gonna write 'hit it'
But I'd probably mess up the word spacing

Ah, completely trustworthy source then... Will definitely take a look at his bat as closely as possible in the next game though!

In totally unrelated news, a Somerset-based contact of mine tells me he may have a few genuine Buttler bats for me, I'll put a for sale thread up in a few days if I have any spares

That does sound interesting!! 

Stampede !!

Buttler is a cricket genious and glad he gave some back to  Bangladesh.

On a lighter note, Nasser Hussain was having far too good a time constantly repeating how good Nasir Hosain was today.

I saw the clip of the handshakes, it was Bairstow and Benji!!!! I love it.

Its a brave man to go up against benji thats for sure!
