Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve years on from his New Zealand debut, Chris Cairns has emerged from his father's shadow to be rated the world's greatest cricketing all-rounder.;Life, though, has not always been easy for Cairns, who in 2000 was named International Cricketer of the Year by that most venerable of cricket publications, "Wisdens".;In this book he talks about the rebellious periods in his life, including his much-publicised row with former New Zealand coach and cricketing icon, Glenn Turner; of the despair at the loss of his sister in a South Island train smash and how he finally managed to come to terms with that tragedy.;At 31, Cairns has scored 2852 test runs, at an average of 32.79, and taken 197 wickets at 28.80.
