Blogs Langer to come back?
July 25th, 2009 by kapoorJustin Langer, the former Australian opener who recently went past The Don’s record for most first-class runs is planning to come back in the ongoing Ashes. Given the poor form of Hughes and the fact that the Aussies don’t have too many options in terms of opening batters, it may actually happen. However, Langer has categorically made it clear that he would have to be officially appointed as the opening bat for the rest of the test matches if the CAB wants him back. At the age of 38 this does seem like a bit too stretched to believe but then the Aussie selectors have been known to make some bizarre and brave choices and this one too might just happen. Langer is still pretty active in the Australian first class and the county scene and is among the top three run-getters until now, in 2008, in the domestic circuit. Given his excellent record against the Englishmen, Langer could well get a chance to play in another Ashes, albeit without his former partner, Matty Hayden.
