Buttler seems to be going a little bit down the Broad Alleyway, where he was picked whilst out of form for so long that people just got used to saying he shouldn't be in the team, and now he's doing well, can't reassess the situation and stop!

His keeping is still out of form though. Are we looking at ‘Jos the specialist batsman’ again come the Asia tours?

That would be tremendously harsh on Burns (who it would be on current form) but I don’t see how else you fit them all in.

It'd be a complete and utter piss take to drop Burns on the back of 4 or 5 poor tests, when someone like Buttler gets away with 2 years of indifferent form, has one good game, and is now apparently one of the first names on the team sheet for the foreseeable future
Edit....this whole situation is making me really quite mad, I mean, an amazing day and a half is basically all he's had, everyone waxing lyrical over his awesome catch yesterday, little said about the fact the Bess wicket could/should've been a no ball as his gloves were in front of the wickets, his drop today's not got the focus it should as 3 or 4 other catches have gone down too.
Seems to me that people are taking the 'give someone with talent enough time and they'll finally come good' route rather than the 'give someone enough opportunities and they're bound to finally do something right' view.

JIMMY!!!
Anyway, clearly the solution to the above quandary is to make Ollie Pope dislocate his shoulder.

I don’t care about T20s. But I always care about Australia looking stupid.

I'm happy for this to become a recurring meme.
