We should probably stop fielding a Test team if we can’t be bothered to even facilitate the longer game in this country. Let another country have a go.

Stop being ridiculous

basically they were praying they could get 3 Tests out of him. Says a lot about their confidence in the next tier of quicks.
It seems that lately they're far more concerned with just outright pace than anything else.

Glenn McGrath wasn't the quickest, but he was so accurate and able to move the ball about he was a constant threat.

Oh, and we have coaches (seemingly for the last decade) who seem to basically resort to bouncers all the time, even though the stats show you're far better actually aiming at the wickets.

So Australia bring in their front-line spinner. England have to admit defeat that the Bashir experiment hasn't worked out (not all the player's fault) and go with a spinner (Jacks) who only bowled 75 overs and managed 5 wickets in County Championship this summer.
Going to a minor miracle for this side to take 20 wickets in this Test

They either have the worst media advisors on the planet or are taking the piss out of us.
They have stayed away from it during the tests as well. I really hope that when they get rid of the coach and hopefully Key somebody can stand up as a vice captain and then a captain as Brook is a disaster.
