Writing on supersport.com Kepler Wessels says that South Africa are in safe hands with Gary Kirsten at the helm. His appointment as national coach, especially when South Africa are in a transition phase, will be a challenge but he has been around the block enough as a player and also as an international coach to make a success of a difficult job.
The South African situation is also a restless one at the moment and hopefully Kirsten can create the same stable situation here that he did in India. The challenge for Kirsten will be to assess the South African situation equally quickly in order to come up with a formula that will bring out the best in the individual players and the team collectively.
