JOS BUTTLER admitted risking a “gut call” by bowling Will Jacks at the start of England’s heavy defeat to Australia in a gamble that backfired badly.
England sprang a surprise when they handed Jacks the second over of the day in their crucial T20 World Cup game in Barbados, with the Surrey man having sent down a grand total of 12 deliveries in his previous 14 matches at this level.
He was smashed for 22 runs and withdrawn immediately from the attack, giving Australia the impetus to post the highest powerplay score (74) and largest total (201) of the tournament to date.
