Well, it turned out to be Cairns' day in the end!

Coming in with Canterbury is danger at 5 wickets down with 70 runs still required, Cairns came in and bashed an unbeaten 40 from 30 balls - including winning the match with a massive 6! That's Cairns all over really! On the performance he gave yesterday, he could keep playing for the Kiwis for years to come! I'm really bemused by his retirement.

By the way. Main of the Match was one C . L . Cairns esq!
