In nine ODI innings against him, he averages 8.6 and has now got out five times though Buttler attributed it to mis execution insisting that he \u2018didn\u2019t manage to play the shot correctly.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was the pressure just shifting up a notch, having watched Ben Stokes play out a maiden to Pat Cummins in the over before. Buttler said he \u2018wanted to try and put some pressure back on the opposition\u2019 with England 106 for three at the halfway stage.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the equation was still more than manageable with 181 needed off 150 deliveries and seven wickets still in hand on a pitch where England knew that the deeper they took the game, the more chance they would have given the dew at the Narendra Modi Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Or it was ultimately the result of the weight of captaincy on a scrambled mind. From the moment England named their World Cup squad then decided that it wasn\u2019t their final squad, Buttler has been faced with decision after decision from brutally letting Jason Roy know that he would no longer be going to India to deciding to drop vice-captain Moeen Ali after England\u2019s opening day defeat. And that was all before any of England\u2019s last five successive defeats since their sole win here against Bangladesh, 26 days ago.<\/p>\n<p>To follow up after Eoin Morgan is no easy feat but the difference is evident.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas Morgan\u2019s emotions could rarely be figured behind his ice-cool exterior, Buttler has visibly worn the pain of this campaign and as he made the long and lonely walk up the sheltered stairs and back into the dressing room, he must have wondered whether this feeble attempt at a World Cup defence could get any lower. There\u2019s every chance it could, against the Netherlands on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/19\/77403097-12710935-The_defeat_will_pile_more_pressure_on_England_captain_Buttler_an-m-47_1699126969754.jpg\" height=\"355\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The defeat will pile more pressure on England captain Buttler and head coach\u00a0Matthew Mott<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/19\/77402937-12710935-England_have_struggled_with_the_bat_during_their_dismal_defence_-m-45_1699126953197.jpg\" height=\"379\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England have struggled with the bat during their dismal defence of the World Cup title in India<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether the captaincy had taken its toll on his batting, Buttler denied before further talking about his frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Of all the things that have happened on this trip, I&#8217;d say my own form has been my biggest frustration, because you want to lead from the front as a captain,\u2019 he insisted.<\/p>\n<p>With just 106 runs in seven games, averaging 15 and a high score of 43, Buttler has been a shadow of himself with the bat.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the tournament, he has arrived at the crease with England in moments of difficulty. 33 for three against India, 68 for three against Sri Lanka, 38 for four against South Africa and 68 for three against Afghanistan. At 103 for three against Australia, the situation wasn\u2019t hugely dissimilar, but England were well and truly in the game. It was a moment where they needed Buttler the batter but they got Buttler the captain.<\/p>\n<p>A man with a million thoughts racing through his mind and no semblance of the clarity of mindset or the consistency of sheer quality with which he built his reputation as one of the best white-ball batters in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty days after England\u2019s defeat to New Zealand at the same venue in the tournament opener, Buttler was asked at the end of the press conference how he felt personally, given England had lost five on the trot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/19\/77403807-12710935-Ben_Stokes_was_caught_sweeping_off_the_bowling_of_Australian_spi-a-43_1699126947790.jpg\" height=\"411\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ben Stokes was caught sweeping off the bowling of Australian spinner\u00a0Adam Zampa<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/19\/77403047-12710935-England_were_given_a_faint_hope_when_Pakistan_earned_a_miraculou-a-46_1699126964031.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England were given a faint hope when Pakistan earned a\u00a0miraculous win over New Zealand<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m having a great time, thanks\u2019 he uttered, with hardly the sign of a man who believed what he was saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yeah, frustrated.

And given the events of the last four weeks, perhaps that decision is one that he may not have to make.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12710935\/AADAM-PATEL-Jos-Buttler-reflects-Englands-disastrous-World-Cup-defence-knocked-Australia-India-favourites-title.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AADAM PATEL: Jos Buttler reflects on England&#8217;s disastrous World Cup defence after being knocked out by Australia as India become <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298239,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
