That's true Beny - and things have got worse for England since Fletcher retired.

Again true, the players who stould in for the injured players in Australia in 2006 must have learned something, yet players not quite ready but full of potential like Mahmood and Plunkett appear to have been discarded, in favour of players who struggle to reach the other end of the wicket at their pace.
The only real possitive IMO in the squad to face New Zealand, is the inclusion of a refreshed Strauss, but the bowling is little different to the attack that failed in Sri Lanka.
