England vs West Indies: Jos Buttler trolled mercilessly by Twitterati for his latest picture
The Englishman has featured in 43 Tests so far where he has scored 2,211 runs at a modest average of 31.14 with a century against India in 2018 to show for his efforts. He has also scored 15 half-centuries. However, his form of late has been miserable. Jos Buttler has failed to register a fifty in his last 7 Tests, having scored his last half-century against Australia in the 2019 Ashes at the Kennington Oval in London.
In fact, even in the ongoing series, Jos Buttler has not performed according to expectations. In the first Test which England lost by four wickets, he could only manage 35 and 9 in the first and second innings respectively. The story was pretty similar in the second Test as well where he threw his wicket away after scoring 40 in the first innings. In the second innings, Jos Buttler got out for a duck after being sent to open in order to up the ante.
