“I feel I’m hitting the ball well”- England captain Jos Buttler

At the post-match presentation, Jos Buttler mentioned he felt good about his batting despite not scoring big until the Super 8 game against the USA. Reflecting on his performance, Buttler said:

“I have been feeling good all year to be honest. I feel I’m hitting the ball well and it’s on me to look after my own game, as much as I’m the captain, I’m one of the 11 and I have got to do my job.”

Reviewing his team’s performance in the game, Buttler added:

“We give the USA a lot of respect. I thought if we could bring our intensity we’d be too good. We wanted to give ourselves a chance to top the group. Rashid and Livingstone were brilliant with the ball.”

“We’ve got great options. We wanted to bring CJ (Chris Jordan) back for this game to add a bit of depth to the batting department with his batting capabilities as well. A World Cup hat-trick is a great effort from him.”

The outcome of the South Africa vs. West Indies match later today will determine if England finishes first or second in the points table.
