Men’s ODI WC: Tournament With The Bat Has Been Frustrating; But Doesn’t Shake Belief, Says Jos Buttler
Cricket World Cup: With England officially out of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup after their 33-run loss to Australia here at the Narendra Modi Stadium, captain Jos Buttler admitted that his woeful run with the bat has been incredibly frustrating, though his belief hasn’t shaken yet.
In chasing 287, Buttler holed out for just one to long-off against leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who claimed 3-21 and took the Player of the Match award as Australia inched a step closer to the knockouts. Overall, Buttler has made 106 runs in seven matches at an average of only 15.14.
“I wouldn't say the belief shaken, more just the frustration grows and adds. Like I said, these are top quality players. I speak about myself more. I think the belief in my game is as high as it's ever been really, which means why there's so much frustration. Coming into the tournament I felt in fantastic form, as good a form as I've been in.”
