Upbeat stories

Look Richard, here are some examples of how to write a cricket story without leaving your readers crying into their breakfast cup of tea. Daniel Gilhooly on Chris Cairns' and the importance of a plan to beat Australia. Phil Hamilton on why Australia might be just the tonic Hamish Marshall needs. And here, Jonathan Millmow even manages to turn news that Shane Bond has a stomach bug into a positive piece.

Perhaps Richard needs some proof that negative journalism doesn't just get the readers down, but it also gets the players down - so here is Jonathan Millmow again, this time talking to Craig McMillan who admists to feeling burnt by negative stories.
