Stop blaming the pitches.
England only put the aussies in on a flatish wicket so that you might get use of your ticket, Show some gratitude

Flatish wicket, did you see that cook ball spin from leg to off!
Even before this last test started I was far from convinced.
Take out the seaming, swinging pitches and our bowling attack still reads: Right-arm medium-fast x4 and 2 part time spinners. Hardly great variety and nothing that says we're likely to achieve anything outside of England.
The ineptitude of the Australian batting at Edgbaston and TB masked our own quite nicely. The best you can say about our batting in those tests was that it was less shit than Oz.
Root gone now.
The only 2 tests not played on swinging pitches we've been comprehensively dismantled.
