I AM NO INSTANT SOLUTION: BUTTLER

SOUTHAMPTON: Jos Buttler tried to ward off the pressure from himself ahead of his Test debut against India this weekend by insisting he alone could not fix England’s ills. Just two months back he smashed a sensational ton against SL.

Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, now a Lancashire teammate, has said Buttler could be “one of the greats of the game,” but the gloveman for one was keen to put his situation into perspective. “I’m not coming in expecting to be the one person who can fix English cricket ... unfortunately,” Buttler told reporters.
