Really interesting case.
Lou Vincent’s testimony seems pretty damning for Cairns - it appears he’s not holding anything back to protect himself. Brendan McCullum is also lined up to give evidence against him, and a few other Black Caps.
I cannot get too worked up. The ICC institutionalised corruption last year with the[del] India and its bum boys [/del] big three take over. Sri as ICC chief? Gimme a break. Dhoni still playing?
I hope the current expansion the PCB is trying in the Gulf and in China opens up a few more revenue streams for the game so we, the Kiwis and the Saffers can tell those three to bugger off.

Bump. Cairns found not guilty. Read this link and you’ll see the judge instructed the jury to find him not guilty (not in as many words, but pretty clearly nonetheless).
I totally missed this story the first time around. All I’ll say is that at this point I no longer give the benefit of the doubt to any sportsman accused of cheating.
