    Aortic dissection is a major. A bit like an aneurysm, this stuff can hit without warning. Hopefully he can pull through, this is well before his time

    10-11 days on life support, wonder what the prognosis will be going forward. All the best to him on the recovery.

    Had no idea that Cairns had settled in Canberra.

    Well, when you hear someone say "He lives in Canberra now" that always is hard to get across.

    Because nobody really lives in Canberra.

    It’s great that he’s getting through that, young family and cricket hero (one of mine especially) etc etc.
    Are the world media and social platforms gagged from mentioning the elephant in the room? Is he suddenly forgiven?

    May or may not have cheated in IPL games…still just allegations…..I prefer to remember his awesome record for his country when assessing him.
