200 up for England
He was an idiot in the context of this game. We were rebuilding and the shot he played wasn't needed at that time with who was to come after him.Crazy shot selection from Buttler. To call him an idiot is pretty idiotic. The man is clearly talented, and treated us fans to some spectacular innings. Today was a day that he needed to dig in, and re build an innings with Stokes. That’s not Buttlers game!
Need Woakes and Stokes to build another partnership here.
You can see how near England got if they had not given away so many wickets early doors.He was an idiot in the context of this game. We were rebuilding and the shot he played wasn't needed at that time with who was to come after him.

He's experienced enough to adapt to the match situation. He is talented as you say but at the time he should not have played that shot with who was to come if he got out. The score was still very much getable.That’s why I said that’s not his game and way of playing.
He world class when he scores 150 of 90, but when he gets out playing the same style, he’s then an idiot. You get that with Buttler!
All World Cup at work I have been banging on about batting 1st is a big advantage. This tournament the side battling 1st has a 68.9 %win rate. When England put Australia in I instantly said we would lose. We have battled 1st 3 times and won all 3 compared to 1 win in 4 batting 2nd. It’s not rocket science.
They did. The fact that we have now lost to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia suggests that if there is a party, the England players' invitations were lost in the post!The only thing that I would say is that the Australia big players almost all came to the party.
I don't honestly think we will win either of those games on current form.The Aussies have beat us the last 2 50 overs matches on our own turf, struggle to us going far in this competition, we have India and NZ next, we need a win and a wash out.
I agree, all the other big teams have bowlers who can dismiss teams, we struggle to bowl teams out, even Afghanistan batted 50 overs against us, I know it was our batsmen today that failed I’ve thought it was the bowling unit that was our weak link.I don't honestly think we will win either of those games on current form.
