Buttler showing why he has no technique for test match cricket. Edges galore, and dropped on early on - just like the first innings

He's not the only one who's struggling, its mostly off Bumrah's bowling with his action and angle on the crease, Root struggled too.

Main thing is is that he's still there!

On another note, I bet GM are happy now Stokes is clear of his Court case...I wonder if they did sign him up for a bargain?

I mean, we're going to lose, but it's nice to see a fight of some kind

greame smith had a shocking technique...batted for hours.

Graeme Smith (like Buttler) had fantastic hand-eye coordination. Slightly ropey technique but like you say, knew where his off stump was and left everything he didn't need to play and brought the bat down straight against the new ball - most useful in England.

yes for sure. but it doesn't actually solve the problem we have. im sure as others have said he is favourite to be picked.
What the selectors will do because we have loads of middle order players is keep picking them

instead of saying, hang on, we have a whole team full anyway, lets look at another area.

Root is already 3, he wont go up an further.no one else if the current team could open the batting

Root should be moving down, not up. Same for Pope. Moeen bats three for Worcestershire (Opens in white ball cricket) and let's be honest, he can't be worse than most England #3 batsmen since Trott left international cricket.

Well!

A wicket less session, England batting! With our 2 whiteball players who don�t have the technique for test cricket at the crease!!

What on earth is this?
Some check the betting spreads? spot fixing? What what!

absolutely. It don't matter what form of the game you are better at, or your technique, get in and leave the ball properly,score when you can and defend the rest.

Let�s be honest butlers knock was extremely lucky, full of plays and misses and edges. I suppose that won�t get mentioned, also the fact he was dropped on 1

So he gutsed it out and cashed in on the 2nd life he was given.
Isn't that cricket down to a tee?

cant see how that matters. Butler is a one day specialist, he is now batting in 'test mode' , him and Stokes are going against their natural instincts for the team

what I don't understand is if they can do it why cant the others? yes he's been dropped but everyone needs luck right...

So no one ever in the history of test cricket has had a good score after a drop? Or a fight through the beginning of there innings?
