00:35to bed going to cry themselves to sleep over what was said or done out there. Sometimes it gets a

00:43little bit over-egged, I think, from an outsider's point of view. I don't think it overstepped the

00:48line from the Indian team or from our team. There was always going to be a moment in a series like

00:54this when it was going to implode. It wasn't really boiling up to it, it just sort of happened.
