Lance Cairns and Chris Cairns both have been great servants of New Zealand cricket

Both Lance and Chris Cairns were great servants of New Zealand cricket. Lance played 43 Tests and 78 ODIs for New Zealand. He scored just 928 runs at the Test level at an average of 16.28.

He was more successful with the ball at the Test level and picked up 130 wickets at an average of 32.92. Even in ODIs, he was more successful with the ball which is evidenced by his bowling average of 30.52 as compared to a dismal batting average of 16.72.

Chris Cairns is one of the best all-rounders to have played the game. Chris was an aggressive batsman and a decent pace bowler.

Chris was named one of the five Wisden cricketers in the year 2000. Chris played 62 Tests in which he averaged around 33 with the bat and 29 with the ball and 215 ODIs in which he averaged around 30 with the bat and 32 with the ball.

He was a true match winner on his day and single-handedly many matches for New Zealand.
