“Another day of dominance for SL” read the headline on the Cricinfo Daily e-mail newsletter yesterday. The headline barely expresses the situation; there have been 8 completed days in this test series and each of them have belonged to Sri Lanka, as has the first half of the 9th day. We are now also into the 8th innings of the series. Of the completed 7 innings, the best 4 were the Sri Lankan innings and the worst 3 have been those of New Zealand.

I suppose it is possible for the difference in the teams’ results to be greater in magnitude (NZ have scored over 200 in each of their completed innings after all), but not in consistency.
