Review: Shane stays mostly in clear waters

Live Mint  

“Standing on top of my mark with the ball in my hand and I am looking down the pitch, it was my domain, my spot. The new documentary Shane, streaming on Bookmyshow from 15 January, is a deep dive into the Australian leg-spinner’s career and life but one that stays mostly in clear waters. There is obviously sufficient time spent on the Mike Gatting “ball of the century”, told through a delightful sequence of different cricketers describing the moment in short sentences with quick cuts. While credible talking heads include some of his Australian and English contemporaries, like Mark Taylor, Allan Border, Darren Gough, Andrew Strauss, and older ones like Ian Botham, Ian Chappell, only one Asian, Tendulkar, is included. Another notable absence in the nearly one-hour, 40 minute documentary is fast bowler Glenn McGrath, with whom Warne formed a potent bowling partnership, gathering a cumulative 1011 wickets from 104 Tests.
