Paine rates Buttler over Dhoni in white ball cricket
Manchester June 25 (IANS) Australia skipper Tim Paine has rated England s Jos Buttler as the "best white-ball wicketkeeper-batsman in the world" and even went on to hail the Englishman as better than India s World Cup winning former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Buttler is in the form of his life having single-handedly rescued England from a precarious position with a valiant century to help the hosts complete their first 5-0 whitewash of Australia here on Sunday.
Asked to rate Buttler Paine who himself is a stumper said: "He s good he s very good. Right now he d have to be the best white-ball wicket-keeper batsman in the world."
"I don t think there s too many guys to challenge him. MS Dhoni is pretty good but at this moment Jos is at the absolute peak of his powers.
"He understands his one-day game so well and knows his strengths inside out and just doesn t go away from him " Paine added.
Buttler scored 275 runs in the just-concluded series with three unbeaten knocks that included scores of 91 54 and 110.
