Localized news

The best coverage of yesterday's Indians-Super Kings thriller, of course, is at Prem Panicker's blog. The Cricinfo.com coverage is pretty good too. But that's not what this post is about. Instead, it's about how this news is "localized" in different parts of the world.

Radio New Zealand: [Jacob] Oram gets plundered in Chennai

Trinidad and Tobago Express: [Dwayne] Bravo's Indians lose IPL thriller.

Herald-Sun (Australia): Hayden hammers Chennai to victory. (don't forget to check out the first comment! It appears at the bottom of the page).

Mangalorean.com: Actress Nayanthara hospitalised, won't perform at IPL match.

    IPL seems to be as much about actors and actresses as about cricket.
