Brendon McCullum says he will "never forgive" Chris Cairns and he hopes he never again crosses paths with the man he once considered a hero. McCullum testified against his former teammate in last December's perjury trial at Southwark Crown Court in London, during which Cairns was found not guilty of charges relating to alleged match-fixing. It's not the character I thought I knew, and I guess I can never forgive him for that". McCullum, who retired as New Zealand captain in February, said he had no regrets about his decision to testify against Cairns, even if it meant irreparable harm to the pair's relationship. "I'm sure [Cairns] will get on with his life, and I'll get on with mine, and let's hope they never cross paths."
