can someone please explain why ryan butterworth, who was at the top of his game, was unable to get a game in bangladesh ?

Very simple. We cant play him till Dabengwa is in squad

We are saving Butterworth as our secret weapon for the world cup.

I thought a weapon is needed to be polished before big battle.

Not Butterworth. He is ready to strike anytime.

Unless we are ready to pencil in Ireland/Kenya for a quick few games before world cup then I think it is very foolhardy to play a rookie in the world cup. look at friday Kasteni in last world cup. They blooded him in the 2007 World cup and he failed

Sorry but can someone explain what the Dabengwa story is and how it affects butterworth, thanks in anticipation!

I'd have liked to have seen him play atleast a game...just not be i guess. He'll get his chance i'm sure.

Warning: keep criticism constructive. I will delete (and have deleted) posts that are nothing more than namecalling.

I think they are referring to the fact that Dabengwa keeps mysteriously getting selected for the side infront of other potential all rounders such as Ryan Butterworth.
