At the moment its probably not worth calling anyone else up until we can see how the injury is going, or more to the point who is there to call up?

There would be no point in picking Kirtley as we already have one trundler in the squad, it would be suicide to play 2. Gough would be a backward step and Giles will be nowhere near match fit. Broad is no where near ready and the mauling he would recieve could put his career back a couple of years.

As Rachael says is there a need to call anyone up? Flintoff, Monty and Dalrymple/Colly should cover 30 overs. Lewis and Plunkett could be the other 2 bowlers and Colly/Dalrymple can also be used as a back up if one of the bowlers has a 'mare.
