Just reading up on some news and noticed this bloody awful news quite frankly, part of the story is posted below...

"Legendary New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns is reportedly on life support after collapsing in Australia amid a freak medical episode that’s left fans fearing the worst.

Cairns, 51, suffered an aortic dissection in Canberra last week, according to multiple media reports, and has since undergone several operations.

But a number of media outlets – including the New Zealand Herald – have reported Cairns has not responded to treatment"


It goes on to say he will be transferred to a specialist hospital in Sydney.

Fair to say this guy was a GREAT NZ sportsman and reportedly a great bloke too exceptional competitor i admired his play and skills.
Very sad, here's hoping for a miracle recovery for the guy and his family

Reminded me a lot of Dean Jones, pure entertainment was the way he played, hope he will make a full recovery!

Tragic news, his 19 yr old sister was killed in a car accident many years ago. Gotta feel for Lance Cairns

Some family’s cop a lot

They sure do, no parent ever expects to bury their children. It’s something I can never get my head around and could not think of anything worse for a mother and father.
Sometimes these news puts into perspective how lucky most of us are, the well-being of your loved ones is paramount and above all material things for me.
