Quote in Film Companion, a film review website in India, about a TV Series
I, for one, found it both amusing and disarming that these war-hardened chaps in
that dressing room react to people and situations the way we would. They say the
kind of things (JL: “I’ve never seen batting like __X__’s, it breaks your heart”) we
would say, despite being the ones in the hot seat. When they get grinded down,
disappointment makes them think like we do, too – a clock-ticking sound over
__Y__’s endless batting in Australia feels like a witty extension of their weary mental
space.
