Ponting is only human says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Justin-Lee-Langer-c69712 – Cricket News Update
In the aftermath of the humiliating loss suffered at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 to get back to his best and claimed that he is just human.
The former captain of the Kangaroos team has come under the radar once again after the Kangaroos hit another low, which saw them completely bamboozled by the Proteas bowling attack in the first Test match.
After taking a healthy lead from their first innings, the tourists were appalling in their second outing and could only manage 47. That performance did little to impress the Australian press, who singled out Punter as the man to be replaced in order for
youngsters to get a reckoning in the team.
While Langer is taking no excuse for the side’s dismal showing, he still feels that the veteran has quite a lot to offer to the team and just shows that he is human.
"He's human," Langer said. "He'll hate me to say this, but I've seen McGrath, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918. They went through it. I love seeing that: they're human. I thought it was just me and the nuffies who weren't very good, who had self-doubts,
said Langer.
“He knows. He's a very grounded person. He knows how the system works better than anyone: you've got to score runs to stay in the team. He's determined to do that, added the former left-hander.
Once a dominant force in World Cricket, the past 12 months or so have been the most testing for the Kangaroo contingent, which has seen them loose the Ashes to their bitter rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, and also relinquish their World dominance to the Men In Blue.
The main culprit as perceived by everyone is Ponting, whose own performances have taken a considerable backseat despite him handing the arm band to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978.
Combined the recent series of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, the Punter is averaging a meagre 22 from 6 outings, and a serious question mark lingers over his place in the Test side.
For now, Langer feels that replacing the veteran will not be a wise move and expects him to deliver soon.
