I think from what I've seen of selection, the retirements haven't been well handled but dealt with in a fire fighting way instead of planning for the long haul. Being English I'm used to seeing the fire-fighting approach to team building quite a lot, sadly.

100% true. For example, we pick spinners hoping they'd be the next Shane Warne, and then drop them after one poor test. There will NEVER be another Shane Warne (sorry to all you Graham Swann fans out there :P )
*MySmiley*

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to be included in this thread.
