ENGLAND return home from their Test series triumph in New Zealand confident they now have a bigger pool of internationalclass bowlers to choose from for the summer campaign ahead.

Coach Peter Moores and the rest of the squad set off with thoughts already drifting to the summer's challenges following their first overseas series win in three years.

Moores' first job on arriving back will be to identify an attack for the opening Test against New Zealand at Lord's on May 15 for the start of the three-Test series.

Later in the summer calendar there is the stiffer challenge of attempting to match South Africa in four Tests and Moores will need an attack capable of subduing their dangerous batting line-up.

But Moores believes there is the talent available with Stuart Broad breaking through to battle it out with Jimmy Anderson, discarded duo Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard and the returning Andrew Flintoff.

Outside of the team now you've got people like Harmison, Hoggard and Flintoff, who are experienced Test match cricketers and that makes for a very competitive environment because the side which has just played has won two Tests in a row,'' enthused Moores.

From a bowling point of view there is a broader base to select from, which is very healthy.'' England are willing to remain patient before they look at Lancashire all-rounder Flintoff, who is back playing again after a fourth operation on his troublesome left ankle, while they will need to see success at county level from both Hoggard and Harmison at the start of the season to consider their recalls.

But England could, potentially, have enough bowling options to pick a bowler for an individual ground based on a history of success on that particular pitch.

The first key is to make sure all those bowlers are bowling well and playing well in county cricket if they're not in the international set-up,'' said Moores.

We know certain bowlers have good records in certain places. For instance Harmison has a good record at Old Trafford.

It would be nice to have that challenge of fit bowlers bowling well and be able to have to weigh up our options. It's good for the players for it to be competitive and also we know that quick bowlers get injuries so we need cover.'' There is no doubt, though, in captain Michael Vaughan's mind that England have found a bowler capable of cementing a place in the side for a long time in 21-year-old Broad.

The Nottinghamshire seamer finished the series against New Zealand with eight wickets from his two Tests, but made key contributions to both victories in Wellington and Napier.

Stuart Broad is a massive talent and very easy to captain and for a 21-year-old you don't get that very often,'' revealed Vaughan.
