Russell Craig Domingo, born 30 August 1974 in Port Elizabeth is a true son of his home town – humble, tenacious and friendly. So unassuming is Rusell/Russel that he does not even have a Wikipedia page of his own. I went this morning to request that a page be created on Wikipedia for our Domingo only to realise that I had a small problem – it seems as though his first name has two different spellings (one with an L and one with two L’s) that appear in the media releases that I have in my possession. I am inclined to think that the official spelling is with one L as that is the spelling on the Proteas web site. In any case I have reached out to Leigh at Warriors to confirm exactly what the spelling is and will then get the ball rolling on the Wikipedia site.
Do you know the correct spelling? Let us know in the comments section.
In the meantime, Cricinfo has this to say; “Russell Domingo realised in his early 20s that playing cricket was not for him, after he failed to make it at Eastern Province. So he took up coaching and obtained his first qualification at 22. After serving his time in the age-group structures he got his big break in 2005, when Mickey Arthur was appointed national coach. Domingo was appointed Warriors’ coach and he employed Gary Kirsten as a consultant while there. Domingo set out a three-year plan for the under-performing franchise and in 2009-10 they won both the 40-over and 20-over competitions. Warriors went on to finish runners-up in the 2010 Champions League. In 2011, when Kirsten was appointed national coach, he named Domingo his assistant with a vision of grooming him to take over. Domingo was named South Africa’s T20 coach in December 2012, and succeeded Kirsten in all formats in May 2013. He was South Africa’s first coach of colour.”
