India v England T20: we have nothing to lose, says Jos Buttler- Cricket News Update
England’s young sensation, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is a great opportunity for the Poms to express their dominance in the shortest format of the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 has been manhandled by the Indians during the One Day International series and is yet to defeat the hosts on this tour.
Buttler says that everyone in England’s dressing room is looking forward to the match and is determined to get even with the Indians by defeating them in the one-off Twenty20 match.
“Everyone's very determined. We've got one last chance, nothing really to lose and an opportunity to express ourselves in the Twenty20 format,” said the 21-year-old cricketer.
Buttler, who plays for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 in England domestic cricket, also shared his opinions on England’s disastrous tour. As per the newbie, the tourists learned a lot from the mistakes they have made in the ODI series.
Buttler reckons that no one holds any advantage in the Twenty20 game and any team that adjusts to changes quicker will have better chances.
“Good experiences and bad experiences can only benefit us in the future. You can learn a lot from the games. But that's gone now. We have a Twenty20 on Saturday; the fundamentals of cricket will be the same, and it will be down
to who can adapt the best,” opines Buttler.
The 21-year-old has been in India since the start of Champions League T20 tournament. He was with Somerset, which made it to the semi-finals of the event. Butler’s performance with the bat was not impressive during the tournament
as the youngster gashed 53 runs from three innings at an average of 17.66.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Butler-c48850 is anticipating a better show, if he is given an opportunity to play, for the national side. The youngster has played in three T20 Internationals for England so far. However, he was called in to bat just once, as the Poms
won two of those three games quite comfortably.
Hoping to make the most of his chance, Butler said, “It is probably the easiest job to get picked in the squad. But once you get picked, then you've got to try to perform at that level. It is a challenge.”
The solitary T20 match between India and England will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Saturday, October 29, 2011.
