Gary's Diary
Gary Kirsten
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.
