Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His six hitting prowess in domestic ODI games and in the World series of cricket made him an instant crowd puller too. Lance pursued golf after having been forced out of the NZ team due to a dip in form. His son, Chris Cairns was also a cricketer in the same mould as his father and served NZ with a lot of distinction.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Coming from Spring Creek, a Marlborough hamlet, Lance Cairns was the rawest of cricketers. 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. And one Christchurch day when New Zealand were waiting for Lancaster Park to dry out, Lance Cairns was bowling on the outfield to a classy 14-year-old - the Chris Cairns who in a decade or so would surpass his father's famous deeds.
