  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.
