Just watched this and had me in a total whirlwind of emotion. Laughter, joy, sadness and empathy.

Basically the story of Andy Flower's reign as England coach and its toll on the players mentally, both high and low. Highly recommended.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Bono.

The bits where they burn the stuff was shot at Newhaven Fort. The whole thing was shot by Lucas - who also shot the cinematic highlights of the Doncaster game.

...howzat for some tedious trivia.
