Wicket still good for batting: Buttler
The dry Wankhede Stadium pitch on which Indian spinners claimed all the 10 wickets in England first innings in the fourth cricket Test in Mumbai, was still good enough to bat on after two days of play, said visiting team batsman Joss Buttler.

“It’s still a good wicket for batting. The majority (of balls) are quite consistent (in behaviour) barring one with extreme turn. If you put that out of your mind and play, it’s still good to bat on,” said Buttler at the media conference after second day’s play. Buttler played a crucial knock of 76 in 137 balls and was the last batsman out after putting on 54 runs with Jake Ball to frustrate the home team bowlers. “Firstly, very pleasing. The knock was against quality bowlers in their conditions. I felt the team needs them and that’s really satisfying. I really enjoyed the time in the middle and getting ourselves to what we feel is a good score on the board,” he said.
