MELBOURNE (Reuters) - There have been a few false dawns in Grigor Dimitrov’s career so it was no surprise that he spent so much time talking about how this year was going to be different after reaching his first grand slam semi-final in three years on Wednesday.

The scars which come with the “I was this close” phenomena, while you are pointing towards the distance between your thumb and index finger while they are touching each other, just don’t go. They just don’t. Fourteen years ago, the evening of 31st January 1999 gave us one of such scars. And it is still fresh. Indo-Pak tours have always been more about politics than cricket.

One of these lesser-known killer toy films is Stuart Gordon’s Dolls (1987), released just a year before Child’s Play.
