Yes seems a great guy and now cemented his place for a long while which is great news. I would still like to see Bairstow back in as a batsmen, although running out of available places! |  | |  |

I’ve been one wanting to see Ben Foakes given his chance and still feel he’s the better glovesman, but the way Buttler has responded with the bat in recent tests and got in the runs shows real character under intense pressure. |  |

Easier said than done when you’ve spent most of your time in the team at seven in the order. He’s played a lot of innings with just the tail for company. Great to see him get there today, hopefully he can quickly convert this into a big one now. |  |

That's true, but only 8 of his 82 innings are not outs. 1 test century before today did surprise me, given how good he is with the bat. He's a handsome b@stard too. |  |

To be fair, he has probably got out before getting to 100 due to selfless batting while with the tail for a lot of those. |  |

Why is it great news? It’s good news for him, but he still doesn’t get anywhere near the volume of runs required of a number 6.....and he is agricultural at best behind the stumps. He is neither good enough to get in as a batsman or a wicketkeeper. Great character and temperament obviously....but getting him in the side causes balance issues. |  | |  |

Teams need character. Eoin Morgan would have been dropped many times from the ODI team over the years if it was all about stats. He is in as a leader and for his personality and ability to driver others. This is similar for Buttler. He is perfectly good enough as a Keeper, not the best but does a job and is clearly part of the leadership team. Stokes back in pushes him back to number 7 so he will have the gloves. |  | |  |

Buttler's performance in this game will certainly re-ignite the debate. Personally I'd rather see the best keeper play, because it's better to watch. Plus Foakes is from Tendring. |  | |  |
