Flop Test XI of the Year 2021
The below-mentioned couldn't couldn't deliver in whites despite having loads of potential.
6. Jos Buttler (wk)
Jos Buttler, the star batter from England continued a dream run in the limited over formats. However, he was unable to adapt his form into the game’s longer format. His batting average was below par, and his wicket-keeping was atrocious. He endured a tough time donning the Whites for England.
Buttler was in and out of the team because of injuries and England’s rotation procedures. This policy prevented him from settling into a specific position. Both at home and abroad, his performance was lacklustre. He only played two Tests in the home series against India and underperformed horribly. He was considered to be a ‘walking wicket’ by the experts.
His struggles continued in the Ashes, with a string of low scores. He attempted to alter his approach by becoming more aggressive, which resulted in him making rash shots against the flow of play. With a solitary fifty, Buttler scored 348 runs at a below-par average of 24.9. His wicket-keeping suffered as a result of his batting, as he continued to drop sitters behind the stumps.
