A magnificent century from Jos Buttler was backed up by a fine fielding performance that saw

It’s a funny thing isn’t it. There’ve been times I’ve thought, and probably printed, similar on here. I’m not sure there’s quite the bowling, though I’d love Rashid to have been given greater scope in Tests and Morgan is obviously a wonderful captain. I’d also enjoy Buttler teeing off – he could hardly have done a worse
Job than the various post-Cook openers – and you could even make a case that the true nature of Aussie pitches would suit Roy. Alternatively, they might get skittled for 32, which would not be unamusing.
