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.
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 )

No, I'll never forgive him.
I don't care about the fixing in the rebel ICL, apart from it being a gateway.
It is what he allegedly did with his influence back with official NZ teams means that I will never forgive him. There is no official link to that Darryl Tuffey over.
Paying Lou (according to his testimony) to spot fix in the champions league. The biggest stage and potentially the biggest pay day for several NZ domestic Auckland provincial players and he is arranging for a team mate to deliberately get himself out. What an unforgivable prick.

I’ll just leave that word in bold

Smith and Warner cheated to win for their country. It was shit.
Others allegedly cheated to fix results for bookies. That is shit x shit wrapped in poo

Indeed….he’s not exactly a murderer or rapist…...and it wasn’t even proven he did it in the first place.
Bit of a dickhead comment @JK

He let a lot of people down in a big way.
You’ll have to learn to agree to disagree and accept comments which you think cross the line I’m afraid.

Gee I wonder what the odds on two life threatening conditions are?

The match-fixing allegation were the subject of a libel case in an open court which he won. He was accused of perjury in the libel case, which was again tested in an open court, and he won that one too.
Not sure what else he could do to clear his name.

Nothing. But he’ll always be guilty in lots of peoples eyes because he has always been a polarising figure.

Great call cos cheating in a game is definitely as bad or worse than murdering your wife.

Not the point I’m making. But we both know that.

Very different. Cairns fronted-up and sued for libel (and won). Simpson ran away, was sued for wrongful death and lost.
