http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Justin-Lee-Langer-c69712 turned sleepless over Australia demise – Cricket News Update
The former batsman and incumbent Assistant Coach of Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
Langer claims that he has not witnessed such an absurd performance of the team since his familiarity with the game. The coach opines that the Kangaroos’ downfall has prolonged unexpectedly, and the fresh demise has slashed them down further.
Talking to the media today, the ex-cricketer said, “I've lost a lot of sleep over it. In the past, really good teams would have thought we're going to do whatever it takes to absolutely bury them. I'm hearing all the cliches come out, flat-track bullies
and you can make it when it's easy.”
Recalling his own career, he told, “When I made my debut in 1993 I came into a team of very senior players. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Anthony-Taylor-c74540, the Waugh brothers - a very senior team. From '89 to now we haven't been in a situation like this.”
The Mentor has suggested the players to learn a lesson from the Cape Town tragedy and improvise themselves to cope with the challenges that they will have to face in the coming days. He stated, “We have to get better at adjusting to circumstances.”
The Oz team, which landed on the African soil with an objective to regain their lost pride and prestige in Test cricket, lost the opening Test by 8 wickets. Much to their disgrace, the Australians fell for just 47 runs in their second innings. It was the
fourth lowest total in the history of Australian cricket.
This bad show has stunned all and spurred shock waves across the cricket community which is censuring the Aussies. Now, the two teams are geared up for the 2nd Test which is set to start from November 17.
Langer has advised the batsmen to go for better shot selection in the coming game and thrive. The 40-year-old played 105 Test matches and scored 7696 runs with the help of 23 hundreds and 30 fifties. He relinquished International cricket in 2007.
