The legacy of Chris Cairns

[Furball]

He took 24 wickets at 27. It was a moderately good series of bowling. Gotta be the most underwhelming whelming performance in sports history.

idiot

Is anyone struggling with wishing him well knowing his past?

Will be very unfair if someone thinks that way. None of us are Jesus.

He’s been on death’s door … he might have done a dumb thing, but he doesn’t deserve to die for it!

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

tbf, he did bully a very mentally ill man into match fixing

cairns is worse than just a guy who fixed a league no one cares about, when he was in he was genuinely nasty. he doesn't deserve to die but Mr X definitely escaped justice.

This is what I think of when I think of the legacy of Chris Cairns.

Sobers, Imran, Miller, Faulkner, Botham, Dev, Kallis, Shakib are guys one would have ahead for certain. Then you have your Hadlees, Pollocks and Benauds who may or may not be depending on how you rate all rounders and all rounderiness.

MOM of a world cup final was great but still a bit of a stretch to have forkers that high tbh

Welp, he's paralysed.

Horrendous news. Let's hope he recovers to get back on his feet

You don't have to be Jesus in order to justify judging someone or wishing someone dead. There's nothing wrong with it.

I mean, it might not be the most healthy thing from your own well being POV, but I don't see anything wrong in saying "I wish that **** X was dead." It's not like you're saying you'd flick the switch on Old Sparky (not our poster, the electric chair) itself.

Don't see an issue for example in saying I wish the leader of IS/ some evil dictator/ Tony Abbott was dead. It might not be a sentiment overflowing with the milk of human kindness, but so ****ing what? these people are terrible.

Tony dying won't absolve you of your fetish for 60 year old men in speedos, Burge.

Former New Zealand allrounder Chris Cairns 'grateful' after heart surgery despite 'long road ahead' (espncricinfo.com)

And now just a week after being discharged from hospital, he has found out he's got bowel cancer. Hope they can deal to it quickly - very high rates of it amongst NZers btw

Any doubts, get yourself checked out too. As FP's said above, it's all too common here (and elsewhere).
