Darren Gough: Jos Buttler has two Test matches to save his career

The Hindu  

Out-of-form wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler’s place will be under threat if he doesn’t perform in the next two Tests against the West Indies, reckons former England seamer Darren Gough. “Buttler has got two Test matches to save his career, for me,” Gough, who has picked 229 wickets in 58 Tests for England, told Sky Sports Cricket. But, in Test cricket, you can’t just keep getting out and that’s what he keeps doing.” Gough also feels that Jofra Archer and Mark Wood should be rotated for the remainder of the series, suggesting to bring back Stuart Broad and and Chris Woakes, who were both ignored for the opening Test by stand-in skipper Ben Stokes. Broad, Woakes and Anderson are the reliable three, while Archer and Wood will blow away the opposition on their day.” Gough said England should get their selection right to bounce back in the three-Test series.
