Buttler Breaks Silence:' Fed Up' with Poor Form, Aims to Return to Batting Prowess

Jos Buttler, the captain of England, declared that he was "fed up" with his terrible run of form and that it was time to return to being "the player that I know I am" by performing admirably at bat.

In the second ODI here on Wednesday, the keeper-batter, who had trouble at the bat throughout the ODI World Cup, struck his first half-century since September (an unbeaten 58 off 45 balls) and led England to a series-leveling six-wicket victory over the hosts West Indies.

"I have been trying to find a form. It has been frustrating at times, Buttler admitted, according to a BBC quote.

He continued, "It was time to put in a performance and get back to the player that I know I am because I was getting tired of it."

Buttler had been out for five single-digit scores in eight matches prior to the second ODI.

But on Wednesday he became the fifth batter in ODI history to reach 5,000 runs, thanks to a game-winning blow. incredibly pleasant... I have some playing experience.

now, so it's fantastic when you reach those benchmarks after a lengthy period of play. Recently, things have been very frustrating.

Last year, Buttler succeeded World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan as white-ball captain. England won the T20 World Cup last year under his direction. But last month's ODI World Cup saw an embarrassing early exit for the reigning champions England, who only managed to earn a spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy by finishing seventh.

The broadcaster's slip

Canberra: During a warm-up match against Prime Minister XI, Fox Cricket made a broadcasting error by using the racist term "PAKI" to display the Pakistani team on the live score ticker. This caused controversy.

On the first day of the match at the Manuka Oval here on Wednesday, an Australian journalist shared the TV grab on X.

Cricket Australia reportedly issued an apology after the error was corrected.

A person who is born in Pakistan or has ancestry in South Asia is called "PAKI," a derogatory term.

Journalist Daany Saeed said that Cricket Australia had apologized for the slip in a different post, following up on her post on X that brought attention to the error.

"The image was an automatically generated feed from a data source that had never been utilized for a Pakistani match before.

Saeed stated on X, "This was obviously regrettable, and the error we corrected manually as soon as it came to light," adding that CA had provided clarification.
