What's going on with Buttler? Seems to scratch around for single figures off 30 balls then get out. Probably score more than that if he just tried to twat the ball out of the park every time.

100%

Why is he in the side? Because he is our best ODI player and an attacking player

Play that way or we will pick someone who will.

That was the most bizarre part of the whole match for me

Because the common thing which everyone has became familiar with is that you have to play with caution in tests compared to ODIs, which is utter bullshit.

Some players do, like Cook and Co

Coming in at 7 with the tail to come and a lead of 50, just player, get 20 or 30 quick runs.

I really think the coach needs to have a sly word here.

If Buttler's going to play like that then we might as well give the gloves to Bairstow and either bring in another middle order player (Taylor?) or bring in Rashid as an extra spinner.

What happened to playing positively, like against NZ? They're getting bullied into tippy tap cricket again.

We had two unused reviews and Buttler was the last recognised batsman, he should have reviewed that even if he thought he was plumb, that is really pathetic.

Totally disagree, this is specifically just Buttler in my opinion

Bell was positive, so was Root, Bairstow and Stokes would of been

I totally agree with this, Buttler needs to play his natural way otherwise he doesn't play

Agreed, Buttler isn't a very good defensive batsman so needs to play to his strengths, which is shot selection, wrists and power.

This is in no way shape or form a position of strength, we have to bat last remember and we can't expect the Aussies to implode again, even if we would like them to.

in no way shape or form a position of strength we will have them a couple down before they even catch us and a lead of near 100 by end of this

Inexperienced player, just frustrating to watch, should be batting like Stokes has, or at least attempting too
 
Is that Ponting on commentary? Described Johnson as 'the pick of the bowlers' despite having worse figures than Lyon, then described Lyon as one of the best bowlers in the world. He's hardly Murali you f***ing clown.
 
Christ why didn't Buttler review, think he would of got out anyway playing like that

Lyon is an under rated bowler IMO. Look at his stats, not too shabby at all.

Keeping them back for the danger men (Jimmy and Finn)

Murali still playing is he?

I reckon that's a good description of Lyon.
