Butler needs to score 111 to break even on his missed chances.

And he is lucky it's this little as Shan Masood was on 45 for both chances and Yasir Shah didn't add to his score after being given a life.

Whats more he could be costing a very talented spinner his career, Bess should have had 4 wickets if you give him every chance, although 2 are off the same batsmen he may well have had more if he hadn't had to keep bowling at Shan Masood.

Now Butler with the bat may be one of the best limited overs players ever, and I have been campaigning that if the top order where more reliable he would have had a much better test record, but Foakes is an outstanding gloveman and as the stats currently sit averages 10 runs higher in tests than Buttler. Now I've heard he's been a bit off form with the bat but even so if you consider that two of the chances hit the keepers gloves its not hard to imagine a game where Foakes only needs to score 1 to be in a net gain and England are only chasing 215.

CAN WE PLEASE START PICKING THE BEST PLAYERS FOR THE ROLES IN THE TEAM, we finally have the top order sorted if stokes is bowling, we generally pick the best seam attack available, we are playing the more aggressive spinner, can we now please pick the best keeper to keep wicket!
