10-11 days on life support, wonder what the prognosis will be going forward. All the best to him on the recovery.
Had no idea that Cairns had settled in Canberra.

Well, when you hear someone say "He lives in Canberra now" that always is hard to get across.
Because nobody really lives in Canberra.

It’s great that he’s getting through that, young family and cricket hero (one of mine especially) etc etc.
Are the world media and social platforms gagged from mentioning the elephant in the room? Is he suddenly forgiven?May or may not have cheated in IPL games…still just allegations…..I prefer to remember his awesome record for his country when assessing him.

@victor-meldrew Awesome he's pulled through and recovering. Was looking pretty dire there.

Unfortunately for me. The first thing I think of with Chris Cairns now is this first over of a match for NZ in an ODI by his ICL team mate, upon return from his ICL ban and playing again for NZ.

I’m sure he ( along with a host of others ) got up to some dodgy shit during his IPL days but Smith and Warner blatantly cheated in a test match for their country. Do people still hold that against them or do they realise they are a couple of outstanding cricketers ? ( one of them especially )
If there was some bizarre rule change and they became eligible for NZ we’d welcome both with open arms ! ( actually Warner would have a fight on his hands to get past Latham and Conway but I digress )
