Justin Langer to coach West Australia – Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – November 8, 2012

http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stevens-c91368 decided against renewing his contract in the wake of Perth Scorchers’ abysmal Champions League T20 campaign, which was marked with various disciplinary breaches by the players.
Langer’s appointment is expected to be announced after he fulfills his duties with the national team, as an assistant coach, for the opening Test against South Africa. The left-hander has represented his country in over 100 Tests, averaging a healthy 45.27. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-North-c1982 earlier in the week.
Many of the English team’s Test regulars have not taken part in the final warm-up game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 were ruled out due to injury. Finn suffered a thigh strain in the first warm-up game, where as Broad is nursing a bruised heel.
While it is expected that Swann and Broad will be available for the first Test, Finn’s injury remains a serious concern for the management. "This is a personal matter and we would ask for everyone to give Graeme and his family privacy. We will not be making any further comment at this time," the ECB said in a statement.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 decided not to appoint a vice-captain.
The decision was made following last season’s confusion where http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120’s absence.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, who is the original vice-skipper, has been ruled out of the clash due to injury. "With the Cricket Australia board you don't have to officially name a vice-captain for every Test match," Clarke said. "I'm certain if I go off the field there'll be somebody there that can do that. At this stage we haven't officially a vice-captain."
