There are conflicting reports floating around on the interweb regarding whether or not the highly anticipated short-list of eligible applicants for the Proteas Head Coach role will contain the name of the legendary Gary Kirsten. It appears he wants the position and has confirmed Cricket South Africa’s interest too.
I remember when I was a young boy and absolutely overcome with excitement at the simple thought of the word cricket.
At the same time I had numerous iconic South African cricket heroes to look up to. Truth be told I wanted the hands of Big Mac and the pace of Donald.
I also used to stand in the field and mimic one of the most famous fielding stances in cricket – that of Gary Kirsten, leaning slightly more on one leg, arms folded with one hand up to the mouth, possibly biting a nail and thinking many overs in advance.

With Kirsten having just led the Indian team to a Cricket World Cup win in emphatic fashion on Saturday, it’s hardly surprising he hasn’t made any decisions yet.
The great one tells it as it is:
I would like to coach the South Africa team. I am one of those guys that I want to make sure I am not destroying my family while I am pursuing my career, so hopefully we can find a balance.
Basically, we have to put some faith in the coincidence factor here because with Gary and the family moving back to Cape Town imminently and Corrie van Zyl’s contract concluded, this would be epic for South African cricket right now.
