"There were no retakes", said Australia's Indian spin coach Sridharan Sriram as he talked about being part of the much-acclaimed web series 'The Test', which chronicles the side's journey from ball-tampering shame to Ashes glory.
The former India international has been a part of Australian cricket's tough transformation period after the ball-tampering scandal, which prompted a review of the team's ethics besides stringent sanctions on the players involved.
But the team fought back adversity under coach Justin Langer's guidance and Tim Paine's leadership.
"What you see is all real, there were no retakes, all the visuals are raw and natural," Sriram recalled with a lot of fondness while talking to PTI.
The agony and ecstacy in Justin Langer's facial contours, coming of age of Paine as a skipper and successful reintegration of Steve Smith and David Warner are the highlights of the eight-part series.
"I think it's a brilliant story of our (the Australian Team's) journey from Cape Town to the end of the Ashes. I consider myself very fortunate to have been a part of the journey," Sriram, who featured prominently in a couple of episodes, said.
But was it easy to express oneself with cameraman present in the dressing room?
Asked what's the best part of being in an Australian set up now that he has worked for nearly five years, Sriram said, "What you see is what you get with our players and the management group."
