The surface is flat and seems ideally suited to their kind of batting. My feeling is that the game will go into the fifth day, and while the pitch will progressively take spin, it will be a good batting wicket. I think people tend to worry too much if a player doesn't fire once or twice. He just had one bad outing in the first innings at Mumbai and I have full faith in his ability to get a big score sooner than later. I firmly believe that once you choose a player, you should believe he is the best until someone better comes along.
Some teams complicate things for themselves by constantly chopping and changing.
I don't think there is any point in changing a side unless you are sure that you are improving the side. I think one of the reasons for Australia's successes is the amount of faith we repose in our players. If a player constantly feels that he could well be playing his last game, there is no way he can relax and play at his best. The spectre of crowd trouble at Eden Gardens does not worry me at all. I have had great times with this crowd back in 1987 and again in 1998.
