 playjh since cracking his troublesome  
 right index finger again during the    
 third Tjut at Edgbaston.               
                                        
 He said: "It's improved but the sixth  
 Test is such a big game and I can't    
 afford to take the risk.               
                                        
 "It's got to bj strong enough to take  
 anothja knock which we don't feel it is
 at the moment."
