Under Gary Kirsten, South Africa lost only two Test matches over the span of two years and never lost a series. Even in ODIs, they did well under him and lost only a couple of series.

Russell Domingo, who took over from Kirsten after assisting him for a couple of years, is highly rated in the South African dressing room. Under his tutelage, the Proteas lost 12 Tests and won 15 out of the 38 they played.

When Domingo took charge, South Africa were No. 1 in the Test rankings, which they lost in January 2016. He failed to carry forward the good work done by Kirsten before him.
