Rubel bowled with a lot of heart, wish Mash could play tests tbh.
I agree with what you said _ however, and thats a big however - a home team knows the conditions and prepares the team accordingly. WI compensated by using there pace attack. That onus of adjusting is a test team's responsibilty. It was our field, our choice - and clearly no plan. England made a mistake in first test, but then adjusted and came back with a plan that was workable. that is test cricket.
