Former Test captain Michael Clarke has urged Pat Cummins to tell the truth - even if it's ugly - about the demise of Justin Langer as national coach.
“God help us” if Justin Langer becomes England coach.
Australia head coach Justin Langer on Saturday announced his surprise resignation, just weeks after the dominant Ashes series victory over England and months after winning the T20 World Cup.
A tearful Matthew Hayden has slammed the national players as well as Cricket Australia after Justin Langer resigned as Australia's head coach. Langer, under whose guidance Australia won the T20 World Cup and the Ashes series 4-0, stepped down on Saturday after facing complaints from players about his coaching style for months. "If he was waiting for the current Australian cricket team to be presenting a face of care, I dare say they won't be and that's, to me, the real sadness around this," an emotional Hayden told ABC Sport.
Matthew Hayden has slammed the national players for not publicly supporting Justin Langer in the lead-up to his resignation as Australia's chief coach. Langer, under whose guidance Australia won the T20 World Cup and the Ashes series 4-0, stepped down on Saturday after facing complaints from players about his coaching style for months. "If he was waiting for the current Australian cricket team to be presenting a face of care, I dare say they won't be and that's, to me, the real sadness around this," an emotional Hayden told ABC Sport. Handed the captaincy following Tim Paine's unceremonious exit, Pat Cummins didn't endorse Langer as coach and had insisted that reviewing his suitability for the role was fair in a "high-performance environment". Hayden was critical of Cummins, who was one of the players who had raised concerns about Langer's coaching style last year and also described the whole evaluation process as unhealthy.
An emotional Matthew Hayden has taken aim at the national men's cricket team, saying the players showed a lack of support for Justin Langer during the late stages of his coaching tenure.
Andrew Strauss, English cricket's new head honcho, has offered more credence to rumours linking Justin Langer with their head coach's job.
