Not a good enough keeper, weĺ not a good enough batter to make up
For the mistakes he'd cost whilst keeping wicket.I loved Buttler to bits,I've posted it loads of times on here maybe ten years ago.but he didn't make up for his mistakes behind the wicket, with the bat.Buttler had the ability to bat at 4 for England in tests too,and actually scored some runs in all forms of the game.
