Yea we haven't lost a toss in a while at home. The SAF series the only one where opposition batted first and got washed out, interesting to see how we go if England score something like 400. Nzl often got into good positions in the test series only to collapse in a heap later though they don't bat as deep as England do.

Problem isn't so much with 'flat tracks of India' or 'square turners of India'
Problem is the idea that all Indian tracks across decades of test cricket history are the same. There are flat tracks in India, and there have been square turners in India.

Problem is we are having enough trouble finding 4 specialist batsman let alone 5 and who the hell do you bat at 8 otherwise, or do you play a 5th seamer/2nd spinner for the hell of it given you'd still have Woakes at 8? I guess they are still trying to get Buttler back in the side so they could pick him and put him at 8, but then they would probably put Bairstow at 5 and Moeen at 7.
Bairstow has also been much better with the gloves recently. Lets just play 10 players.
Ideally we just find that spinner who at least has the control to bowl the majority of overs during home Tests, with Moeen as a wicket taking option. At this stage it does not look like that player is on this tour. Might actually consider playing the 5 pace bowlers in Australia though.
