I remember Top Cat's repeated posts questioning the value of picking Buttler (after he was pretty great against Pak). They've aged well.
tbf it wasn't only Top Cat. I think I suggested that Buttler wasn't the greatest pick when Stokes came back, so fair do's to the lad.

How long are we giving it until we move Jos up the order and his form disappears?
It's weird isn't it. Moeen, Stokes and Bairstow all did well down the order. No one seems to be able to cope with batting higher up though.

Butter also seems like the sort who probably would bomb if he were promoted up the order. It's strange. He's best coming in where he does at present. Lets also not forget to credit ipl for his test resurgence. ��

Same here, proved me wrong though if he is to stay in the side he probably needs to prove he can bat at 5 and Bairstow goes back there with the gloves.

Ishant's getting ridiculous movement.

Bhuvi must be kicking himself throughout this series. Would've cleaned up.

Pitch it up consistently.

What's up with Smith to make him look so pissed off, his pick (Buttler) is doing well.
Hes bowled worse and taken a lot more on another day tbh. Got Buttler driving and edging a couple of times not to mention all those plays and misses.
