A bitterly disappointed Jos Buttler faced the cameras in Ahmedabad after England was dumped out of the ICC Cricket World Cup on Saturday.
Australia beat the Three Lions to pile on more misery as England now may also miss the bus for ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
'Having a great time. Thanks. Yes, frustrated. Yes, disappointed. Yes, All of the above,' said Buttler after the loss.
A normally prolific England captain Buttler once again failed with the bat and analised his form.
'I wouldn't say the belief shaken. It is more just the frustration grows and adds. You know, like I said, this is top quality players. I speak about myself more. I think, yes, the belief in my game is as high as it's ever been, really. So which means why there's so much frustration. You know, coming into the tournament I felt in fantastic form, as good of form as I've been. And so to be sat here having had the tournament I have had is incredibly frustrating. But it doesn't shake your belief. You know, if I stop believing in myself, you know, I've got to make sure I'm the last one that does it. You guys will give up on me a lot earlier than I'll give up on myself,' Buttler said.
He also reflected on his captaincy and said, 'I can't quite put a finger on why I'm not playing to the level I expect of myself. I've played a lot of cricket in India and played a lot of IPL cricket here, so it's not as if I don't know the conditions or the grounds. So yes, it's, you know, and as you say, as a captain, you want to lead from the front. So of all the things that have happened on this trip, I'd say my own form has been, have been my biggest frustration because you want to lead from the front as a captain.'
