Domestic match reports

Usually the coverage of domestic cricket in the papers leaves a lot to be desired. The Dominion Post usually provides us with decent coverage of Wellington games, but from the others you mostly get a perfunctionary reading of the scorecard with the odd quote from somebody involved in the game and are left with the distinct impression that the writer didn't actually see a single ball being played. That's why the write-up of the Auckland vs Canterbury game in this morning's Press is so refreshing. I am not sure who author John Coffey is, but long may he remain at the Post's Sport's Desk.
