There is only one issue for me when it comes to Jos Buttler in one-day cricket — where do England bat him? Yes, his statistics in the final 10 overs of an innings are peerless in terms of his strike-rate, but you do him and the team a disservice if you restrict him to being the 'finisher'.
Historically, players in that role such as Michael Bevan and Lance Klusener wouldn't be moved because they weren't quite as effective in other situations.
But, if I am an opposition captain, I am very happy while Buttler is not at the crease. The game's not won until he's out. The challenge is to work out when he comes in because if it's any time after 35 overs, England are wasting an incredible talent. He's ruthless in what he does, tearing attacks apart in a calculated manner.
