Does the absence of Stokes for 2 matches change things?alfie wrote:I have to agree that Buttler has earned the right to a spot for the rest of this series. But my problem is that he either has to remain as keeper (I think he will ,for now) despite some doubts over whether this is the best option for the team ; or occupy the number six batting spot - recognising that this means other players are going to be batting out of their best positions.

He is just a poor keeper and a pretty poor batsman.

that worries me more tbh
It's typical of England (or an indicator of Mr Ed's hubris) that we can decide to have 2 separate squads for the summer, and then put one of the best white ball players in the world, with a very modest test record, in the test squad
The Professor wrote:Hardly died in the wool evidence but I put four polls on Twitter BEFORE Buttler's big performance. Of the 120 people who voted 70 said he would be in the team this time next year. I did the same thing for Anderson, Bess and whether Root would be captain this time next year. The Buttler yes vote was the one that had the largest amount of individual votes behind it if any of them.
