The J. Langer complaint tour continues. For the umpteenth time, an extended media interview that spun off into an internet post revisited the topic of the old cricket trainer’s discontent with his position ending nine months ago.
The long-lasting conflict
He has never been in a good relationship with the press. After criticizing Cricket Australia in a speech to the WA Chamber of Commerce, he spoke about his former team, who were heartbrokenly lamenting his deficiency.
His teammates were his allies both before and after his resignation. They have gone a long journey together, but the difficult relationship of their coach and the media can’t endanger their future and cloud the upcoming days of cricket in Australia.
Langer and the media have a complicated relationship that continues for a long time already. As a trainer, he frequently discussed the pressure of scrutiny, sometimes as a source of pride and other times as a source of conflict. In either case, he showed a lot of attention to what was happening, and he was telling the others.
Reports and reactions
He once told the players not to read anything written about them during the unsuccessful India series in 2020–2021, but he would later become irritated by the reportage and tell the players himself.
If he liked an article, he could send the author a kind note, but if he didn’t, he could also let them know right away. Media issues are used to resolve disputes now that they are out of work.
Langer has been embraced as a right-wing cause celebrate, while Cummins has come under fire from the head-kicking fringe for firing the trainers’ after only two months in his own position and bringing up the possibility that climate change might be a problem.
When the Australian men’s team was humiliated in 2018, Langer was hired as a strict taskmaster. During the time he was playing, hierarchy was paramount and instruction was given based on the idea that the harder the lesson.
In general, the future of Australian cricket might be heavily affected by the media and the relationship of the coach with it.
