5 areas where Russell Domingo failed as South Africa coach

#3 Dip in overseas record

Russell Domingo

South Africa were known to be one of the best teams on tour. Their overseas record was amongst the best in the business. They hadn’t lost a Test series away from home for 9 years until they lost to India in 2015. It was not the loss, but the manner in which they lost that was painful to witness.

An abject surrender – which was very unlike South Africa. Domingo could have played a big role in motivating the players and keeping their morale up, but he failed on that count as well.

They recently lost in England, too, as the Proteas failed completely, not winning a single series across three formats. This England tour brought a lot of criticism for their continuous failures in the UK where they managed to win only 4 out the 13 games played across formats.

Domingo could and should have taken more responsibility to instill confidence in players when their morale was down.
