So because Buttler made runs is all forgiven?

A great innings from Butler no doubt but Woakes is batting like Viv. Helluva knock CW

Well played Pakistan.  Congratulation to England.

Nice close contest.  Well batted Woakes and Buttler.

Pakistan lost that game rather than England winning it.

I honestly thought they had enough runs on the board, but in hindsight they should have batted England out of the game. There was a whole extra day available so time wasn't an issue

Brilliant test match, just a shame that there wasn't a crowd in to watch it.

It did seem to me that England had picked one too many seamers and one too few batsman but then Woakes looks more like a test match batsman than Burns Denly Crawley et so.

Huge innings from Butler under significant pressure.

That’s why they persist with Buttler.

Yes his keeping was poor no doubt, but He changed the momentum of the innings by attacking the Pakistan bowlers

No, still think foakes is a better option but if Jos wins us games then that's better than him failing

Totally agree but still feel he should be dropped from keeping. If the selectors feel he warrants a batting spot on his own merit that’s fine. I know after a match winning knock it seems harsh but his keeping is just not that great in comparison to the other guy and overall his test avg I just don’t feel warrants selection.

unless you drop Bess i dont see how you can fit both foakes and butler into a side. And I dont think you can drop Bess unless Stokes is fit enough to bowl a chunk of over

Re:Butler...I wonder if we have any keepers on here that are either very good,or play at a decent level.

The reason I mention is to gauge how bad Butler was in the game, his batting was excellent, as was Woakes. To me they looked like 3 or 4 chances that were not that difficult.

I have kept a few times on Sunday's and a handful of league games, once in the Sussex league when the regular keeper turned up drunk. I conceded no byes and got a headline in the Littlehampton gazette 'stand in keeper plays a blinder'

Quite good that...but it was all right arm over and a spinner who landed it on a sixpence-nothing leg side.

In other words Nothing anyone else who has fielded in the slips  could not do.

So I'm not qualified...someone on here will be thou I reckon.  :)
