Justin Langer's resignation as coach sad day for Australian cricket: Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting on Saturday said that Justin Langer's resignation as head coach marks a sad day for Australian cricket. Cricket Australia on Saturday accepted men's team head coach Justin Langer's resignation. "Justin was offered a short-term extension to his current contract, which sadly he has opted not to accept," stated an official Cricket Australia release. "It is a really sad day as far as Australian cricket is concerned and if you look back it has been a really poor six months on the whole in the way that Cricket Australia has handled some of the better people in the Australian cricket - Justin Langer and Tim Paine - and I think it's been almost embarrassing the way they have handled those two cases," Ponting told ABC Radio, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
