CAIRNS: REPUTATION SCORCHED' AFTER PERJURY TRIAL

Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns has been found not guilty of perjury in an eight-week long trial in London.

The 45 year-old was cleared of all charges, after being accused of lying under oath during a 2012 libel trial, when he said he had never cheated at cricket.

That 2012 trial saw him successfully sue an Indian businessman for accusing him of match-fixing.

But despite being acquitted of perjury and perverting the course of justice, Chris Cairns says huge damage has been done.

IN: "I think…
OUT: …important."
DUR: 31 seconds
