Don't think anyone is a Jos hater, more doubters.

And if you'd be fucked to read through the thread, you'd have seen that the two of us most vocal about it have been delighted and talking about eating humble pie, you pretentious prick

:lol:

Steady on mate.

I’ve been out down the club watching our 2s win and our 3s lose. I’ll read it back later.

Pretty sure what's been said goes past being just doubts, but I’ll not get personal about it.

It's f***ing stupid mate. You question/criticise a player and it's "oh why do you hate him, I bet you feel sick when he does well!"

f***ing stupid

Wouldn't even mind if I hadn't spent the last few pages praising him to the f***ing roof and saying how delighted I was!

Great win. I’m guessing the Jos haters are sick as parrots tonight?

Best wishes mate

Does one score of 70 change a career of scores like? He did well today, whos to say Foakes wouldn’t have made 100 though, or if he’d have taken the catches, like Buttler himself said, we’d have won 2 hours ago. No ones gutted about him scoring big and winning the game, but it doesn’t mean he should be first choice or not

Career of scores? His record is good. He’s played out of skin and won us the game here, he deserves a lot of credit. He’s come in for lots of undeserved stick on here, so it’s good to see.

I’m almost tempted to say it’s a shame the rat’s banned.

Yeah could not agree more, I am massive fan of Buttler always have been, but we all happy because England have won.

Told you so by anybody is shit crack anyway.

I'm a massive fan of Buttler in white ball cricket and I love the man! Just don't think he's good enough in red ball.

But that's a discussion for tomorrow, as I say he deserves NOTHING but praise today!

I do, but that’s what this board is about Opinions , if everyone agrees all the time would be pretty boring.

But you spot on, isn’t doesn’t matter who is right or wrong just banter anyway.

What matters is England have won a hell of a game!

For a keeper it’s good. And it’s getting better.

I agree he gets judged too harshly imo 17 fifties for a keeper after 40 odd tests is not brilliant but certainly respectful for keeper.

This other argument about some of the games been a specialist batsman is nonsense as he is a keeper/batsman always has been.

When he was picked as a batsman at 5 against the Aussies that was wrong, but what was he supposed to do turn down playing for his country
