Watch: Ball Lands Outside Pitch On 2nd Bounce, Jos Buttler Still Smashes It For 6
England white-ball vice-captain Jos Buttler is in the form of his life. After a dream Indian Premier League season with Rajasthan Royals, the wicketkeeper-batter marked his return to national colours by smashing an unbeaten 162 to help England post a world record ODI score of 498/4 in the first match against Netherlands and then following it up with an unbeaten 86 in the third game to help his team sweep the series 3-0. During the 3rd ODI in Amstelveen on Wednesday, Buttler was once again in imperious touch, hitting seven fours and five sixes in his 64-ball knock. Such was the form Buttler was in on Wednesday, that even when Netherlands pacer Paul van Meekeren bowled a double-bouncing delivery -- with the second bounce outside the pitch -- it didn't stop the 31-year-old from chasing it down and sending the ball into the stands.
