The most recent match on this list. The debate on who the best limited-overs batsman in the world is a hot one at present and last Sunday, Jos Buttler joined that list of players who are in contention for that coveted recognition when he took England from a hapless position to victory in the final ODI against Australia.

Chasing 206 for a famous whitewash over the Aussies, England found themselves reeling in the chase at 86 for 6 and then 114 for 8, which is when Buttler decided to take matters into his own hand. With Adil Rashid giving him company, the right-hander went about reconstructing the innings brick-by-brick and eventually toward not just one of the best hundreds of his career but also a 5-0 whitewash over the Aussies in their own backyard.
