Beaten by a far better team who know how to win tests in their own country. Perhaps if we'd approached the first test in the same fashion as this one, we'd have had a slim chance. We threw the series away with our cavalier approach.
I genuinely had high hopes that we'd have a chance, and would at least win one, maybe two tests. Can't see that happening now.
Vaughan talks about not making huge changes in the immediate future, but I think we need 3 or 4 changes when we play our next home test. I also think the Baz Ball experiment will reach it's natural conclusion. I've enjoyed watching it, but this team needs proper coaching to compete against the top teams. Just going out and expressing yourself isn't enough against the best players in the world.
