House team, though he last played cricket at Harrow in 1913...".

Q5
The 'X' is a unique Bollywood visual formation. "The 'X' performs such an
important function in the melodrama it consolidates the moral order that
the action will fulfill.", argues Sangita Gopal. It does not conform to
normative film standards because the arrangement is not done in a
believable way and the illusion of there being no camera is dispensed with.
But most often, the 'X' registers the underlying tensions of the plot spatially.
What is 'X', a name which is presently popular in a very different field?
