WHAT'S A BLOG?


A weblog or blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

Gary Kirsten - New Coach of INDIAN Cricket Team ????

Gary Kirsten, India’s newly appointed coach, arrived in the city on Friday evening. Speaking to the media at the airport, Kirsten said that he looked forward to the challenge of coaching Team India.

“It is a great honour to be appointed as coach by the BCCI. I will stay here for three days and interact with the players and the support staff,” Kirsten said.

The former South African batsman spoke about the need for mental conditioning. “Cricket is also a mental game and I will work on that aspect with the Indian team. Yes I will be going to Australia with the team,” Kirsten said.

Later he visited the team hotel, avoiding the media while a tight security cordon, rudely kept the photographers at bay.

Anil Kumble’s men were busy in a team-meeting when the new coach arrived at the hotel.
Later, the team left for a dinner party at Kumble’s home.

Kirsten will interact with the team during the first three days of the third Test before leaving for South Africa
