Son does like father did
BARODA. India Feb 16 (AFP): If you had mentioned the name Cairns in cricketing circles a few years ago. the reaction would probably have been: "All yes, Lance."
Today it would be: "Oh.
you mean Chris.''
Cairns Junior. New Zealand's World Cup allrounder, a devastating righthand batsman and fast-* medium pace bowleri ha» tk‘ nafly come out of his father's shadow
The 25-year-old belongs to that restricted breed of cricketers they call match -winners, the sort of players able to turn a game within a few overs.
Recovering from a call strain, he managed only .a cameo role in the Kiwis opening Group B win over •England but his quick 36 off 29 balls gave a Joretaste of the Cairns means and method.
Lance, who played in the 1979 and 1983 World Cups, was a better bowler than a bat. never quite the genuine article as an full-fleaged allrounder. Chris, however, is on the brink of Joining the likes of Wasim Akram and Brian McMillan as a player who could be selected for ei-
ther discipline.
It has been his destructive handiwork as a number six In the Kiwi order, however, that has been making most waves recently.
It has taken some time in coming. Hyped as a world beater on his International
debut five years ago. Cdirns flattered to deceive for a while, overshadowed by such bright lights as Richard Hadlee and Martin Crowe.
The fireworks, however, when they came in Auckland last month, were worth the wait.
Zimbabwe were on the wrong end of the Canterbury and Nottinghamshire player's bludgeoning 120 off 96 balls
in the second Test, accumulating an extraordinary 94 of those — nine sixes and ten fours — in boundaries. •
He reached three figures off a mere 86 deliveries, the second fastest Test century ever recorded by a New Zealander.
When the ball is there to be hit. Cairns simply hits it. Nothing fancy. No questions asked. It's a compulsion. "If somebody told me to stop going for sixes. I simply wouldn't listen," he says.
It's a case of like father, like son. "As a young boy. I used to love watching the old man lifting the ball over the rof>e from all angles." he re-
And when you throw a 6 ft 2 ins frame into a stroke, armed with a long-handled bat. the ball — and the player, if he connects regularly enough — is sure to go far.
Cairns, who Mt a record 61 sixes for Nottinghamshire in the English game last season, puts it all down to a simple ingredient - self-belief.
He argues: "Everybody can hit sixes. It's Just a matter of backing yourself to do it regularly. I've never had a problem backing myself."
In New Zealand’s first outing on the opening day of the tournament. Nathan Astle s centunr took centre stage. Out of the shadows at last. Cairns is being touted for the limelight next.
