Notes : Wisden Cricketer of the Year 2000
One of the more colourful characters in the New
Zealand side, Chris Cairns has developed from something of a rebel
to a more senior statesman, especially after the part he played in
ending the players' strike in 2002. However, his genuine ability has
been seen in only fleeting glimpses due to an inordinate number of
injuries at crucial stages. When fit, he is one of the finest
allrounders in the world, and he became only the sixth man to
achieve an allrounder's double of 200 wickets and 3000 runs in March
2004. However, his bowling and batting has on the whole lacked the
sort of impact which led New Zealand to their first one-day
international tournament success, the 2000 ICC tournament at
Nairobi. He continued to flourish in 2001-02, helping New Zealand to
the VB Series final, but knee and back injuries came back to blunt
his form. However, he came back for New Zealand's 2003-04 series
against South Africa and announced that the 2004 Test series in
England would be his last, but would continue to play one-dayers.
New Zealand lost all three Tests, but, suitably, Cairns bowed out at
Trent Bridge, his adopted home from his days with Nottinghamshire.
In the first Test at Lord's, he passed Sir Vivian Richards's
previous record of the most sixes in Test cricket. He played for
Notts from 1989 to 1996, and returned in 2003.
