		Cairns was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in June 2005 in recognition of his contribution to cricket.

	Profile of Chris Cairns
		Cairns was unlucky to miss the bulk of the series against the South Africans with a serious calf injury.
		Cairns averaged 56.83 including his third Test century, and was routinely relied on to step in and bail his team out after each top-order collapse.
		Cairns overcame the demons that Shane Warne's bowling had caused him in the past, by several times belting the leg-spinner out of the park.

	More news about Chris Cairns...
		Cairns displayed reasonable batting form during the tournament, averaging in the high thirties with a best of 54 against Zimbabwe.
		The book, entitled "Chris Cairns", is described by the publishers as "the honest, controversial and heart-warming story of one of New Zealand's few truly great international sporting stars".
		Cairns took 3 wickets in the first innings, scarcely bowled in the second, and batted only because Nathan Astle (222) was playing so well.

	Fun with Black Caps: Players: Chris Cairns
		Chris Cairns, son of legendary big-hitter Lance, was destined almost from birth to play for New Zealand.
		Cairns' early career was also marred by behavioural problems, culminating in his infamous run-ins with the Turner regime, and a nagging inability to consistently translate his obvious talent into the world-class performances he, and the New Zealand team, needed.
		Cairns had said that he would only continue to play for New Zealand if he could contribute in all-round capacity, but his availability for the Black Caps' forthcoming one-day tournament in India suggests that Cairns feels he is on-target.

		But Cairns junior had the unenviable task of trying to live up to the expectations of a cricketing public demanding he be not only as good as his father, but also in the same league as Hadlee.
		At that stage Cairns was in danger of being consigned to the international scrapheap.
		Cairns showed he was the man for a crisis in Nairobi and came good again in Brisbane where New Zealand were 98 for five, chasing a distant target of 242, against South Africa - a side they had not beaten in a one-day game since March 1999.

	Cricinfo - Chris Cairns - the last hurrah
		Although the Cairns and Turner families had been reasonably close in the past, it soon became evident during a tour of India that there was a sharp clash of cultures between Cairns and coach Glenn Turner.
		He gave Cairns a ticking-off, and let him, and all the players, know that certain rules of conduct would apply in future, and that players must respect both them and their team.
		If only Cairns had come under Graham's manly discipline when he was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 18-year-old, Cairns may have reached all his famous milestones before he was 30, and with further glories within his reach and for our pleasure.

	Fun with Black Caps: Writing: Articles
		Chris Cairns running and moving freely was a relieving sight to see, particularly as New Zealand's frontline bowling quartet - Cairns, Dion Nash, Shayne O'Connor and Daniel Vettori - were all returning from fairly serious back and knee injuries.
		Cairns, given a life after being dropped by Steve Waugh, hit 43 off just 38 balls until Ricky Ponting held onto a catch in the deep which would have surely gone for six and probably taken the game away from Australia.
		And for Chris Cairns, while he would be disappointed not to have got his country over the line, the First Test - his 50th - was crucial proof that his all-round talent is undiminished.

		Star all-rounder Chris Cairns inspired New Zealand to a thumping 138-run win in the first one-day international of the three-match series against Bangladesh at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong yesterday.
		Cairns, only playing in ODIs these days having announced his retirement from Test cricket last summer, rescued his side from potential danger with an invaluable 74 as New Zealand recovered to 224 from 94-5 after electing to bat first.
		Cairns then showed all his experience and even though Brendon McCullum was out cheaply, the veteran all-rounder steadied the innings with a 49-run sixth wicket partnership with Scott Styris (43 off 55 balls).

	CNN/SI - Cricket World Cup '99 - New Zealand's success depends on Cairns - Friday May 21, 1999 03:40 PM
		Cairns does not turn 29 until next month, but he has been on the international stage for 10 years and has scored more than 1,500 runs and taken in excess of 100 wickets in test cricket.
		Yet for a player of his acknowledged talent Cairns is seen as an under-performer -- he averages 27 with the bat and 32 with the ball, figures that do not do justice to his talent.
		It has become accepted wisdom in New Zealand that Cairns does not bowl and bat well in the same match and after his bowling on Thursday a big innings was on the cards.

	:: VivaCricket :: News: Tough-skinned, self belief and pig-headed says Cairns! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Cairns who pulled stumps on a colourful 63-test career at Trent Bridge earlier this week got a little frustrated when he read impending retirement stories saying ”if only he’d been fit all along, his career was so stop-start, and so on”.
		Cairns said despite his bowling successes at Trent Bridge, where he returned to open the bowling and captured nine wickets, he was not tempted to reconsider his retirement.
		Cairns said he had resigned himself to being a third or fourth seamer in the Black Caps bowling attack after a horror injury run and advancing years sapped his ability to run in and bowl fast.

	Artist Profile - Chris Cairns
		Chris Cairns is going places and will one day be a big name in bluegrass music, both traditional and non traditional if he continues to make music with the same people used on this album.
		Chris’ best penmanship is actually apparent on some of his gospel songs, “Let Me In” and a rawboned arrangement of his humorous tongue-in-cheek “Then I Know We’ll Be Alright.” David West’s fingerpicked guitar is a strong component of the former.
		Cairns is a fine songwriter, and he plays a nice banjo (and rhythm guitar), but most importantly he creates wide open spaces for his compatriots on fiddle and mandolin and such.

		Moody and dangerous, Chris Cairns is one of the rare cricketers in world cricket's genuine all-rounder's category.
		Cairns had surpassed West Indian great Sir Vivian Richards' mark of clubbing the most number of sixes in Test cricket and he will surely relish the prospect of closing in on the same record in ODIs with the three-match one-day series against Bangladesh starting tomorrow in the Port city.
		Cairns however, was impressed with Bangladesh left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique whom he rated as the best player in the home side.

		Cairns captured 5-31 in the first innings and clouted 80 off 93 balls to set up the victory.
		Chris Drum, who has taken 28 first-class wickets at 10.71 this season, is expected to be the third seamer with Chris Martin the likely 12th man.

		There may have been no final hurrah for Chris Cairns at his home away from home, but the Kiwi allrounder leaves the Test arena with a host of memorable performances that encompasses a 15-year career at the top level.
		Cairns is one of just six players in 127 years of Tests to score 3,000 runs and take 200 wickets, putting him alongside Kiwi great Sir Richard Hadlee as well as Garfield Sobers, Kapil Dev, Imran Khan and Ian Botham.
		While there was no fairy-tale ending, Cairns did finish a nightmare tour with 160 runs and 12 wickets at the same place where it pretty much all began as a gangly 17-year-old itching to hurl it down the track.
