Book excerpt: Whether bowling bouncers at cowering batsmen or interfering officials, Dennis Lillee has always been a controversial figure, and this autobiography is no different. He looks back at the storms he created throughout his career, and after, with his aluminium bats, his near punch-up with Javed Miandad and the whole Packer saga, where he helped transform the lot of cricketers around the world, by finally breaking the amateur ethos that was killing the sport. But Dennis Lillee is also a committed family man, a proud Aussie and a good mate to his many friends. Now a distinguished coach, in huge demand around the world, this book shows just why he remains one of cricket's enduring and most popular legends.
