One of the pillars of South African batting in the 1990s, Gary Kirsten's
game revolved around mental toughness and the ability to absorb pressure.
A batsman acutely aware of his strengths and weaknesses, Kirsten was a man
for the big occasion. He was South Africa¹s leading run-scorer in both formats
of the game before Jacques Kallis overtook him. After retiring from the game
in 2004, he has devoted a great deal of time to understanding what creates
sporting success, and has worked with various teams and individuals in a
consultancy capacity and was contracted by Cricket South Africa's High
Performance Academy. He was appointed head coach of the Indian national
team effective early 2008, and this blog will focus on his experiences in that
role.
