I imagine Dylan Cleaver hunched over an old fashioned type-writer rattling out cricket stories like a machine gun, but only remembering to submit them on a very occasional basis. Dylan Cleaver stories are like classy New Zealand batsmen. We go for ages without a new one coming along, and then several arrive at once.
Today we find Cleaver stories on Nathan Astle, Dipak Patel's quest to find leg-spinners, Jamie How and the New Zealand victory and Kyle Mills.
Backing up Cleaver come Mark Richardson and Chris Cairns, again commentating on the New Zealand performance from a New Zealand perspective. Coverage from the Sunday-Star Times is mostly hidden off-line, but they do bring us one interesting story on the on-again spat between Murali and Shane Warne.
I tried to find some Sri Lankan perspectives to share with you, but unfortunately I can't seem to locate an online Sri Lankan newspaper updated to include coverage of the cricket. The nearest I came was an Indian story in the Express, notable mainly for calling Jamie How "squat".
