England really need to look at the balance of their bowling attack. At the moment it just isnt going to take 20 wickets and if you dont do that you cant win matches. We had this problem against India and have had the same one again doesnt Moores learn from his mistakes??

In NZ we can probably get away with playing 2 medium pacers but judging by the way they bowled on this wicket perhaps not.... and anyway is this good long term planning? It would be better to drop Sidebottom and play Broad instead to give him some experience.
