For quite sometime now question in the Indian camp, on days leading to a Test, has always centered on how to get 20 opposition wickets. That's how the thought of playing five regular bowlers came about, especially on true tracks, where wickets had to be earned. But after Pune, whatever the state of the wicket, the thoughts perhaps are once again veering towards how not to lose 20 wickets. And that could well mean going back to the tried and tested seven batsmen (including the wicketkeeper) and four bowlers combination.
