It could be that the pitch was too slow for MC to be effective.

Only rain saved England. Ponting made all the right moves.

It was a great test though, plenty of drama. I missed the Pieterson-
Johnson spat.

So that we don't have the farce that occurred in 2005 of him spending
almost the whole match lying on his back except when batting and being
replaced in the field by a specialist fielder.  (Ponting didn't
complain about that).  He said at the time that he would cut down on
his bowling to prolong his career.
