Interesting stat.

Since buttlers recall. Only pujara and kohli have more innings of 100 plus balls than buttler.

Pujara 9innings
Kohli 8
Buttler 7

Add to that buttlers scored more 50s than any other English batsman since he�s recall, and you�ve got to admit, it was a good recall.

No idea of what it shows, but think that stat needs to be qualified with how many innings they have all played in that period.

Congratulation to England.

Now let's return to regularly schedule program about how good England is and how they are going to thump Aussies.

To save typing it all again I'll just quote myself.

As nobody actually watches Championship cricket I understand why people think of Buttler as an explosive player. However, while he does adapt to suit the pitch and situation, he doesn't go into red ball games trying to biff it like it's a One Day game, contrary to the popular belief on here.

Not correct I watch Worcester.

So what is everyone� Top 3 for the Ashes? Would be tempted to go Burns, Roy, Bell...a bit harsh on Denly perhaps but if he wasn�t dropped in the 2md innings Of the test just finished,it would have been 4 innings without a score.

Unless Australia turn up with Glamorgan's bowling attack Bell's a no go. Roy's hardly good enough for Surrey in their middle order, definitely not good enough for Test cricket as an opener

Buttler, one of my all time favourite players, has had an excellent return to Test cricket but to be a longer term option he needs to play more county cricket. Buttler has a mere 5 red ball hundreds in his entire professional career. He often seems to lose concentration after crossing fifty. He needs to learn how to sustain the tempo for long innings, as it's highly improbable that he will be scoring multiple 50/60 ball Test hundreds.

Sarcasm clearly doesn't come across on the internet, does it...

My "nobody actually watches Championship cricket" comment was intended as a joke.While it's not thousands, there is usually a reasonable crowd in for Championship games.

Of course, those of us who go know that though, and would have hopefully seen the irony of the generic statement that gets thrown around?

However, the number of people who think Buttler only plays one day style innings is staggering. For every one who does follow the domestic game and knows he's a very adaptable player, there seems to be four or five shouting about him playing his natural game and smashing everything into the stands. This is just one aspect to the game of a very talented player!

Could someone please explain to me the logic of the drawn tour game vs presidents XI?Why were Jennings and Burns playing?

It's been an odd tour but not sure which match that is. In the one day warm up we are 95 for 0. Roy and Bairstow going well

The link on the bbc is broken it takes you to a scorecard for a test warm up look at the date

Roy 110 Retired off 82 balls! Not bad.

Love how cleanly he hits the ball.

There was still 25 overs left when he retired!

It could have been carnage had he been allowed to bat on..........

Windies ODI squad has been decimated by injuries. Evin Lewis, Rovman Powell, Keemo Paul and the suspended Shannon Gabriel

John Campbell, Carlos Brathwaite and Sheldon Cottrell the replacements.

Don't see Windies offering much.

Root with a decent last ten got us 370 odd and him a nice 114.
