4 S by EW is cold as clubs are 2-2. Shouldn’t EW try that ?

Hi Shantanu,
After two rounds of Hearts, presumably declarer has to ruff the 2nd one high and play a club. The defence duck and then punch dummy again with a heart but now a small D gives a way back to hand to draw trump. God spot – but a good save anyway!
Regards,
Iain

“Good spot”, sorry. If declarer ruffs the 2nd heart low and plays a club then the defence duck one club, take the 2nd and exit with a trump. Now it’s 2H a D and the CA to lose
