England Lions tour of Bangladesh Jan-Feb 2011/12

[Sureshot]

I think I said on these forums at the end of last year, that yes, Buttler had had a great year, but like Sureshot said, it was just one year. But he's come back in 2011 and had just as good a year, if not better in limited overs cricket. The guy's average and strike rate are simply crazy. I think England are missing out if he's not in the squad straight away. I mean, it's not as if there's a number of performing guys in his way. Bairstow didn't really take his chance, so the slots there for the taking.

Yup, I'm all for giving him a chance against Pakistan in the 4 ODI's coming up (and 3 T20s), now is the right time, the perfect time really considering his form with the Lions and I'm sure it hasn't gone unnoticed.

also, Bangledesh win the series against the lions 3-2 (but if you include the "tour match" between the two same teams its 3-3), but the lions have destroyed Sri Lanka A in both games with the bat, is this a sign that Bangledesh will be a stronger team in the next few years than Sri Lanka?

I think the U-19s are more indicative of that because SL A have a lot of players that are 25+.
Bangladesh leading the 7 match u-19 series 4-2 right now.

Great win today, Jos Buttler on the runs again! What a player.

I wonder if England's selectors will "rest" a few of the Lions for the next match

It'll be interesting to see who plays for who, when it's the seniors against the Lions. By right a few of the Lions team should be in that First Team now, especially Buttler. He's been simply brilliant and deserves a go.
