Australian cricket greats responded to Justin Langer’s resignation as men’s coach with sadness and anger on Saturday, hailing his role in turning a scandal-tainted team around. 


Langer’s long-time partner at the crease Matthew Hayden led emotional tributes that were barbed with anger at the way events had unfolded. He said Langer—who took up the role in 2018 as Australian cricket was reeling from the sandpaper ball-tampering scandal that shocked the nation—had ended a toxic win-at-all-costs culture and made Australians proud of their team again.


“It had been disgraced and dishonoured. We in the Australian cricket community love Justin because he came in and said ‘no way, you know we’re going to do we’re going to play this game in a manner that actually is going to make Australians proud again’,”  Hayden told ABC.  


Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting expressed his frustration.  “I actually think it’s a really sad day as far as Australian cricket is concerned” Ponting told ABC.
