'I was only going to bowl five overs ...'

No excuses after good lay off from one-day programme

Walking to our net practice yesterday afternoon from the Bert Sutcliffe Oval at Lincoln to the nets on Lincoln Green with Stephen Fleming, we got to talking about how much we are looking forward to getting back into the longer form of the game

Relief was the feeling at end of series victory over England

When you win there can often be different kinds of emotion

28-Feb-2002•Chris Cairns

Last game will tell us how good a one-day side we are

I suppose the marketing department at New Zealand Cricket will be happy with the final match in this series being the decider down here in Dunedin

Butler impresses, and Adams continues to impress

The first game in Christchurch did not begin well for us when we assembled as we learnt that our pace ace Shane Bond had suffered what looked like a stress fracture of the foot

Wickets in finals did not match the occasion

The Aussie leg of the summer is officially over and we have come away with no spoils which, after how hard we tried over there, is disappointing

Gladiator chat couldn't get us home

I saw Jonty Rhodes at the practice session the day before the first VB Series final and both of us thanked one another for helping each other get to the final

Finals are a chance for more history-making for this side

History beckons for the CLEAR Black Caps in the finals of the VB Series against South Africa and we are looking forward to the challenge ahead of us

A special week to remember for New Zealand cricket

After the week that has just been I am not sure where to begin

21-Jan-2002•Chris Cairns

Great fight on Friday sets up tri-series for real battle

Friday night's victory against the world champion Aussies was quite remarkable considering the position we found ourselves in at the beginning of both our batting and our bowling

14-Jan-2002•Chris Cairns

Two quick Test wins the appetiser for hectic one-day programme

Two comprehensive victories over the last week have seen the CLEAR Black Caps move up the ICC Test Championship ladder

Great to see Bangladesh expanding cricket's band of nations

It's great to see the Bangladesh side here in New Zealand

17-Dec-2001•Chris Cairns

Stephen Fleming is now NZ's best sports captain

Having been home for a couple of days from the tour of Aussie has given me time to reflect on that great last Test and the tour as a whole

10-Dec-2001•Chris Cairns

Rain Kings looking forward to five days of cricket

We have informally dubbed ourselves the Rain Kings so far on this tour of Australia

29-Nov-2001•Chris Cairns

I would have done exactly the same as Glenn McGrath

To have gone so close against Australia and not snatched victory was pretty gut wrenching to say the least at Brisbane on Monday evening

Long wait for a Test match nears an end

Seven and a half months hard work to get back to full fitness sees me only a week out from my first Test in over a year

Watching for Kiwis to make tournament final from afar

The CLEAR Black Caps' efforts in Sri Lanka, before last night's reduced overs match, could have netted them four wins out of four but for two tight finishes against the Sri Lankans where the home side came out on top

31-Jul-2001•Chris Cairns

Itchy feet starting to get to me as Kiwis go to Sri Lanka

Denis Aberhart has again followed David Trist to what will this time be his greatest challenge

17-Jul-2001•Chris Cairns

No Kiwi can ever go past an All Black Test

While there is a copious amount of cricket being played around the world, being a New Zealander, one can never look beyond an All Black Test

03-Jul-2001•Chris Cairns

If fans break the rules they should be punished

The scenes I witnessed the during the England-Pakistan One-Day International at Headingley were disgraceful
