I really think the cricket powers-that-be must hate spin bowlers. The LBW rule discriminates against them, covered pitches have greatly reduced their potency and now we see the effects of the elimination of real wicket keepers who have mostly been replaced by plonkers with gloves. It must be bad enough to have to bowl on a dead flat track without having Butterfingers Jones behind the sticks.
This is the ground where Hedley Verity dismissed Don Bradman twice in a day. O tempora, O mores!
ETA: Jones has just caught Tharanga off Panesar...typical bloodymindedness.
