Buttler servesup bestof whathe missed
England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler admits he has missed playing Twenty20 cricket and revealed the recent success of his England team-mates helped to drive him on in a great performance in the second international with Australia.
The wicketkeeper carried his bat to score 77 not out.
That secured a 2- 0 series victory for Eoin Morgan’s side after they successfully chased down 158 at the Ageas Bowl arena in Southampton.
It was Buttler ’ s highest international score in the sprint format.
His performance backed up an impressive summer of Test cricket in which he hit 152 against Pakistan in addition to a couple of half-centuries after calls for him to be dropped from the side.
