Erm.... Our bowling and fielding is the reason we've dominated.
Why?The team is performing in spite of him and not because of him.Imagine the possibilities if we had a proper coach.

Team has definitely improved since last season. Not sure if its just team or the opposition they have been playing. But its been a good turnaround.
Back to the game at hand, hopefully one of bavuma or qdk can get a ton. That should get us a lead of 200.

Credit to the coaching staff (Domingo, Langeveldt, McKenzie etc), and a big on-field factor in my opinion, is Faf du Plessis.
Faf is calm and strategic. AB, though immensely talented, is not the best captain - his on-field decisions usually come off as a frantic frenzy trying to plug leaks mid-match.

You can't have it both ways. If you criticize a coach for bad performances you have to give him credit for the good ones.
The series is not over yet but its looking good. Credit to Domingo and his team so far.
Agreed credit to the team.Not Domingo so much.He's a K*k coach.
Why is he a *** coach?
Go and look at our track record since he has taken over.
This sharp improvement in our performance has nothing to do with him.

Been saying it since AB and Amla were competing for captaincy that it should be neither, it should be Faf. He has a lot of Biff in him. Your best batsmen doesn't necessarily make for the best captain...
You have absolutely no evidence to base your conclusion on. I see a happy well coached team playing to its potential. The environment that has been created to allow these players to perform is because of the management team. Teams don't suddenly start performing. It takes good management to turn things around.

+10000 This guy speaks as if he's in the same WhatsApp group's and team meetings with the Proteas.
I don't have to be in their whatsapp group to confirm what I see with my own eyes. It looks like a happy team with a good attitude and the performances proof it.

No man , it was aimed at the guy who thinks Russel Domingo doesn't deserve credit. I agree with you

We currently ranked 5th in test cricket! I'll give him the credit for that. Happy?
