And I was like we are in some serious trouble here. I do remember for about 15 minutes, I was like 'Oh Christ! Yeah, when he got through that first period of the night, I thought 'Oh trouble'. Rahane looked just as good too there for a little while," Tim Paine said in the docu-series 'Bando Mein Tha Dum' streaming on VOOT.
