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.
