Monty Panesar has called for England officials to look in the direction of a former Sheffield Shield coach to replace Brendon McCullum if he is to depart the team.
There was no way for Panesar to hide his disappointment in the England team after the third Ashes Test, with Australia retaining the urn in Adelaide after 11 days of play.
It was clear at the end of the third Test that the visitors were disappointed with their performance, as were the travelling crowd and fans back in England.

Captain Ben Stokes insisted that while the goal his team hoped to achieve was no longer on the cards, the playing group would not give up in the final two matches.
However, that was not enough to slow calls for team officials to consider looking for a new coach to take over the team, with some declaring this series is the end of Bazball.
Panesar is one of the many who fear that if McCullum does not find results over the coming Test matches, he could be put on the chopping block and depart the role.
If that were to happen, the English great has one man in mind to step into the top job.
"If he doesn't do very well, they should look at another coach like Darren Berry," Panesar told 3AW's Wide World of Sports on Tuesday.
Berry, a former wicketkeeper, has experience working with some of Australia's best talent, having coached in both the Sheffield Shield and Big Bash League.
Panesar claims Berry's leadership could be the key to unlocking the answer to stopping Australia on the international cricket stage.
"I think he is brilliant," he continued.
"He knows the system really well. He helped out the young guys in Australian cricket like Travis Head.
"If Brendon McCullum doesn't succeed in the next few Test matches, I think he is the guy they should look at. He will help this England team to know how to beat Australia."
Panesar went on to recognise that some people across England somewhat feel they had been "brainwashed" in the lead-up to the series that Bazball could succeed, only for the side to crumble.
One thing fans have not been able to escape since that downfall is the troubling reality of the side's preparation, along with a boozy trip in Noosa that is under investigation.
The English great admitted it was not a good look for the team and questioned why the staffers did not consider adopting strategies used by past winning England teams.
"There was huge hope that England would really compete in this Ashes. Everyone thought in the first Test match that England would win, with Australia not having their strongest bowling attack," Panesar said.
"Perth, we all knew that Australia are very good at pink-ball matches in Australia. Come Adelaide, it would've been (all on) England's batting, with a slightly slower bounce pitch.
"But it has been completely the opposite. Australia has just dominated our play both mentally, physically and tactically. People are thinking, 'Have we been brainwashed a little bit thinking that Bazball would've succeed?'
"In hindsight, England should have had a two-week camp before the Perth Test match.
"When we went out in 2010, we had three warm-up games. It was the first time we won after 20 years. I think they should've taken a little bit of information or spoken to people on that tour to work out why did they have three warm-up games, why did you have a bootcamp in Germany?
"(This year's preparation) wasn't taken as seriously as an Ashes period (should be).
"Australia are a tough team, the men are hard," he continued.
"You play against them and they won't give you an inch because they are a strong side. We've underestimated them a bit, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum in particular. Now they are probably putting their hand up and thinking, 'we did get the preparation wrong'.
"There was not enough cricket being played to adapt to the Australian conditions, it was more rest and recovery, which maybe (only) works in England.
"Australia were determined to make sure that Bazball did not succeed on Australian soil and they did that."
