Jos Buttler insists England will not panic after five conseuctive defeats
(Picture: Getty Images)Jos Buttler says England have the “ingrained confidence” to weather their run of poor results and believes last year’s T20 World Cup success is proof they can still turn it on when it comes to the autumn’s 50-over defence.
Yesterday’s narrow five-wicket loss to South Africa in Bloemfontein made it five successive one-day international defeats for Buttler’s side. The first three of those came in what was effectively a write-off series in Australia in November, but the worrying run of form stretches back to last year’s home summer, with England having won just two of 10 completed games since Buttler replaced the retired Eoin Morgan.
