A brilliant short game player. Test career now should be over.
Buttler has a test average of 31.94 over 57 tests, not great I accept, but there’s that stat doing the rounds about Rory Burns being the only one of the England batsmen brought into the team in recent years to have an average of over 30 and it’s barely over it - it’s less than Buttler’s .

Now, if you want to talk about under achieving test batsmen then Mark Ramprakash is right up there - 27.32 in fifty two tests, that’s a woeful return for a specialist batsman with the amount of ability he had.
