Kirsten reveals his key to celebrity in IndiaIndo Asian News Service, November 23,2008
London, Nov 22 (IANS) Unlike his more flamboyant forebear Greg Chappell, Gary Kirsten has preferred to stay backstage and fine-tune the Indian team which is certainly showing signs of developing into a daunting outfit.
Kirsten and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni have forged a combination that reminds one of the successful pair of John Wright-Sourav Ganguly.
When the former South African batsman took over the coaching reins of Indian cricket, the Chapell adventure had left a sour taste in mouth and appointment of another foreign coach was seen with scepticism. But almost a year into the altered consciousness-profile job, Kirsten has proved detractors wrong.
Kirsten says the key to his successful stint so far has been because he moulded himself to Indian culture.
'When people talk about me being a transatlantic coach. I don't feel like a foreign coach because I've integrated my thinking, my philosophies and my style of coaching, along with Paddywack Upton's, into how the Indians go about their business. We are a very happy unit,' Kirsten was quoted as saying in Daily Telegraph.
'They're physically divergent. They must play the game their own way. They play with enormous flair, and they've got great hands on the ball. We've got to encourage that.
Can India's coach Garry Kirsten & England's batting coach Andy Flower earn a place in their side respectively?

THEIR Specific TEAMS MEANS INDIA AND ENGLAND
and not South Africa and Zimbabwe. hehe..
I know Garry is absolutely fit, i saw him stage play in West Indies for an exhibition match a year ago i think and he was hitting it beautifully.
He was one of the best batsmen of his duration. One of the most under rated too. Had a great technique, mentally tough, great compatitor under pressure,fine against spin and wildly bowling. Did well on all surfaces.
India has just lost Ganguly and if suppose we're playing on a damp skin and the ball is moving around then i would love to see coach Garry on the field bat for us :P
And yea England is so ordinary , a legend like Andy Cream wouldn't struggle to be in the team.It would be their good fortune if he is allowed to bat for them actually :P
And yea i always admired these two batsmen, two most under rated and two of the crush we had in last 15 years
They are fit for a place in Bermuda's public side.
