Chris Cairns by Chris Cairns
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.
Hamish McDouall was born in Wanganul the year West Bromwich Albion last won the F.A. Cup. His first book The Who's Who of New Zealand Cricket (McIndoe Press) was published in 1993. He has published articles in the Observer, the London Evening Standard and When Saturday Comes and newspapers throughout New Zealand. He completed a Master of Arts degree at Otago University in 1996, and is currently completing a law degree. In 1989 he won Sale of the Century, and a year later won New Zealand Mastermind. He loves travel and has lived in Sweden, England and Russia in recent years. The highlight of his cricketing career was a game against the M.C.C. in Sweden in 1999.
