Woes with the bowling attack has led to critics lending suggestions as to how the men in blue can overcome their travails.
There is, however, no need to make a mountain of a molehill.
There is less to be concerned about than other teams like South Africa, England,Pakistan or Sri Lanka. Australia and the West Indies are notable , even surprising, exceptions. Maybe playing to your strengths even in alien conditions has its merits.
India have not exhibited their best but have continued their winning ways. It has not been great watching but it’s been effective.
At the end of the day, it’s about getting the job done. Winning ugly is still winning.
