“The first Test he saw was the first one he played in. He had no idea that his awkward wrong-footed delivery was not the orthodox bowling action. But soon Cairns' ability to bowl big inswingers, and batsmanship born of broad shoulders and a good eye, made him a crowd-pleasing match-winner. He carried a wooden club, rather than a bat, with cutaway shoulders and bearing the name Excalibur - a massive blade that carved six sixes in one memorable one-day international against Australia at Melbourne.” This is how Wisden Cricinfo described Lance Cairns, an entertainer in every sense of the word. His son Chris, who present day fans saw more of, would go on to repeat similar feats, in similar swashbuckling fashion.
