Due to the ridiculous amount of advertising on Angelfire, I have moved this site to a "real" server (please excuse any broken links etc you may experience during the relocation). The new address is:

www.nzcricket.net/cairns

September 7, 2003
New picture page, "Cairns in 2003"; "Cairns brings the sunshine" article added; and News updated.

August 17, 2003
I've updated the News (including moving some of it to a News Archive page) and added two articles, "Cricket and Fudge - the Cairns connection" and "Black Cap star delays decision". I've also put a link in the Extras section to the dressable, poseable Chris Cairns doll, which I made for my Fun with Black Caps website.

July 1, 2003
I've made a Chris Cairns desktop wallpaper, which is available to download, in two sizes, from the Extras section. I've also added a picture to the World Cup 2003 pictures page and updated the News.

News updated. (Apologies for the slow updating recently: I have exams at the moment.)

June 10, 2003
News updated. Two articles added, "Cairns keen to keep playing" and "Notts suffer Cairns blow" (about his broken hand). Talk about bad luck :(

June 6, 2003
News updated. Please note that Cairns' manager has confirmed that he is still committed to playing for New Zealand and has dismissed reports that Cairns was considering retirement as "sensationalised".

I've added an article from January about Cairns' comeback, "Cairns: courage in the face of adversity" and also put a review of Cairns' biography in the Extras section (until such a time as I get round to writing my own). News updated.

April 10, 2003
Two articles from earlier this year added: "Cairns - I'm a gamble" and "How I'll turn up the heat at the World Cup" (thanks Sash for sending me these). Links updated. Oh, and I'll try to get round to writing a new Profile soon...

News updated. Article, "Chris Cairns' World Cup" added, in which I attempt to analyse Cairns' form.

February 28, 2003
I've added four articles which, I hope, cover the key elements of the Tiger Tiger nightclub incident from a variety of perspectives: "Drunk Kiwis were warned to leave before attack", "I didn't klap the kiwi!", "Cairns' behaviour was an isolated incident" and "Cairns and McCullum fined".

A side strain has further dented Cairns' hopes of being a World Cup bowling force. Three related articles added: Injury rules Cairns out as cup bowler, Cairns still not ruled out as World Cup bowler, and Aberhardt hopeful of Cairns' return to bowling crease.
