As a lower-order batsman he has the talent to change the course of a game in the blink of the eye with his flamboyant strokeplay, although he's still a work in progress behind the stumps.
In the recently concluded tri-series, where England and India were engaged in a keen tussle to find a place in the final at Perth, Buttler brought energy to the proceedings and a level of calm when the Poms appeared to be caving in quickly at 6/65.
He got along with James Taylor to construct a 125-run stand for the sixth wicket which helped England cross the line. The World Cup offers a perfect stage for one of the game's precocious talents.
