Ian Bell has probably played his last test match... maybe they will go back to him, but he looked hopelessly out of his depth, and while there are people like Robert Key on the sidelines... its hard to justify.
Jones really cannot go on making so many mistakes behind the stumps. if you average 55 you can get away with a series like that... if you average 30 you cant.
As for Ashley Giles, he is a solid, intelligent cricketer, a good fielder, a brave and resolute batsman... but the fact remains that he just doesnt turn the ball enough, but I dont know if we have anyone else that is any better.
