<p>Despite his heroics with the bat, a lot of cricket fans weren't actually talking about his successful innings as&nbsp;he is running the risk of action by ICC&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking on the issue, Buttler said, "I think it's just something that reminds me of what my best mindset is -- when I'm playing cricket, and probably in life as well."</p>

<p>"It puts cricket in perspective. When you 'nick off', does it really matter? It's just a good reminder when I'm in the middle, when I'm questioning myself, and it brings me back to a good place," he concluded.</p>
