@10:15AM: Former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum said it is difficult to talk about Chris Cairns illness and understands how much pain the all-rounder’s family must be going through.
It is a difficult subject to obviously talk about. We have not seen each other for quite a long time. We have been reflecting on just how fine a cricketer he was when the news came through and what he did for the game and New Zealand cricket throughout his career as well,” McCullum is saying.
“Our relationship is unimportant in the whole thing, the fact is that Chris is a father and also a son to Lance and Sue. They have already had such tragedy in their life with the loss of Chris’ sister a long time ago as well. It is a really difficult time for those people and I know the cricket community and all those who support the Cairns family will be suffering right now. Today my family and I are thinking of those people who are suffering,” he added.

“It’s absolutely devastating. It’s the worst news you could possibly get. Absolutely devastated. Obviously, it’s compounded even further when his family can’t be with him because he’s in Sydney. It’s devastating,” he said
“We grew up together and played all our cricket together, so I’ve got fond memories of Chris. It’s absolutely devastating. Thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family,” writes Andre Adams. Horrid situation and hoping for the best,” Harris said.
