Jos Buttler plays down opening loss: It’s OK, we are not robots

England captain Jos Buttler admitted that his team fell short of their best batting performance in their World Cup opener against New Zealand. He stated that they were a long way off their best with the bat and should have scored more than 280 runs. Buttler also mentioned that the defeat did not highlight the importance of all-rounder Ben Stokes, as they have many top players who failed to make significant contributions.
