| Book | Film | |------|------| | Longer subplot about Spud’s pen pal in America | Omitted entirely | | More detailed cricket matches | Reduced to one training montage | | Grandma’s storyline is more surreal and extended | Condensed but still effective | | The Guv has a larger arc involving his wife | Trimmed for time | | Mad Dog’s crisis is more drawn out | Compressed but retains emotional weight |
