Bridge Deal of the Week (Apr 20 2007)

Problem:
Holding good cards is not always an enjoyable prospect, illustrated by the South hand in today's deal. Strong 4-4-4-1 hands are not easy to bid, and after dithering in the auction, North-South eventually stumbled into 4♠, declared by South.

The ♦A was led, East signalled with the Queen to indicate possession of the Jack. West played another diamond, which you ruff in hand. There are 10 winners (4 clubs, 4 hearts and 2 spades), but trump control is the main issue. What are your thoughts?
