I could listen to JL talk forever! Cheers for a quality poddy lads
Thanks for listening!
The Boon one is a classic.
Mate e that chat was awesome no wonder he j.l had success comon aussie
Love all the pod cast boys need more content keep up the good work
I recently completed watching both seasons of the web series The Test : New era of Australia's Cricket. I couldn't get enough of listening to Mr. Langer, the wisdom, clarity, passion & eloquency with which he speaks is impeccable. Its absolutely captivating & inspiring to listen & watch him talk not only about cricket but also about leadership, life skills & psychology as all these topics are so close to my heart. Its a pity that he is not on social media I wish I could tell him personally of my respect & admiration for him. Kudos to you for bringing out such a wonderful podcast & giving insight into such candid stories. đ
He tells a great story, could listen for hours to this legend
More JL!
The end of his coaching career was sad tbh. I really admired how he picked up AUS team after Sandpaper gate 2018. Some of his achievements:-
AUS won ODI series in IND after a decade (3-2) 2019
AUS retained the Ashes in ENG after 20 years (2-2) 2019
AUS won ODI series in ENG in 2020 (Only team to do so since 2015)
AUS won T20 WC in 2021 in the UAE
AUS retained the Ashes 4-0 in AUS in 2021-22
JL is just amazing. Loved every minute of this đđđ
Loved that you loved!
I'm a South African and have so much respect for this guy
JL is one of the smartest coaches and speakers around. Great interview and the honesty was an eye opener. I can relate to what he was saying. Well doneâŠ..
Fantastic Interview boys, could listen to JL all day. My sporting hero
Not all heroes wear capes
Funny story with Justin Langer, I went to watch NSW v Western Australia in Newcastle, I was young, I doubt he was even established at the time, Lee, McGrath, Mark Waugh, some bloody good players were playing and JL was sitting in the stands waiting to bat and a guy was asking him to sign a jersey for "charity", asking JL to get the whole team to sign it, in hindsight I think that pissed him off but I remember going up to him and saying hello and him telling me to "fuck off leave me alone" lol.
McGrath was at fine leg all game signing autographs he was a legend.
Rough
Love JL as a player and also as a coach. He has definately been misrepresented and misunderstood in the media since being sacked. Decent man who speaks the truth !!
JL's truth!
Great person, leader, motivator and mentor . A lot of ânuggetsâ in there for many.
Gold nuggets
Loved his time at Somerset in the UK please come back!!
Brilliant
One of the greats
I could listen to him all Day
24 hours of JL?
Loved it, love JL. Thanks all that was awesome.
You're so welcome
The great, great man.
Great podcast, what a WA legend đđ
Big legend
First time I had the privilege of listening to JL was before he played a Test. As a promising Shield player, he spoke to a small group at the Cricket Society at the MCG. He was just as impressive and entertaining, even then.
Wow he talks some sense doesn't he, very amusing too. He was such a determined and fierce competitor - the sort of person I want coaching or playing for our team (and my life if it came to that).
This bloke is my hero.
Absolutely brilliant interview!
Brilliant....you sense he could have potted plenty more but the absolute class of the man shone through. Thanks JL for your twenty odd years of service, not saying they broke the mould but you sir are an immortal of our great game.
He'll go down in history
Great interview. As a Dockers fan, I'm still a big fan of this podcast. Langer is a great speaker but the interview style was spot on. No Old Bull podcast so I'll get my WA sports fix here.
Plenty of WA sports guests on so keep coming back
Top pod boys!! JL a true champ!
Cheers mate
Brilliant chat
i like how he explained kerry pecker story
I don't get JL, he mentions how hard social media can be on the mental health of players (and kids) but then also says that being brought up tough and it's the way it should be and players should get on with it.
It's a bit of a dichotomy
It's a bit different having people you respect being hard on you to teach you a lesson compared to numpites on the internet talking endless shit.
your comprehension is lacking
@@philinn4788 no need to get triggered. He did kinda contradict himself but itâs ok
@@imalwaysright you sound triggered, you ok?
I can see the point. Toughness and coming through tough situations can give players a tremendous sense of achievement and can be very good for mental health. I would have been interested to hear how he adapted his coaching message to suit individual players' personalities and communication styles. That is a characteristic of all good coaches. Even Barassi knew who to tear strips off and who to encourage softly. I would have liked to have heard that. Social media is appalling with players spending hours on phones reading and responding to texts that are saying how hopeless they are. In a cricketing world with hundreds of millions of fans, the criticism will be neverending. If you trust the coach and have the relationship then strong criticism can be empowering.
Need to publicly know why he's not still the head coach of the Australian men's team
I think everyone already knows; because JL is a proper old school warrior and modern players canât hack playing that way..
@@Ben-rq5re agree but wanna hear how CA words it other than he's prickly and not approachable/ (doesn't cuddle the cupcakes enough)
@@jame25O I doubt theyâll ever make a meaningful statement on it tbh. As a pom I was delighted and gutted when he was made Aus head coach, he was exactly what that team needed.
He resigned.
@@eightyseven3113 I think he makes it pretty clear in this video that he believes he was pushed
Great pod boys! JL legend!
The greatest question was never asked â JL, you say you eat leg spinners, how did you go facing Warnie at training?â
Yeah the interviewers don't exactly have skills in interviewing to get what the fans are after. Was still a decent chat.
Love ya JL â€
that packer story is amazing hahaha
25:00 G.S. Chappell employed the reverse sweep in the late 1970s. He was the first I remember.
Legend

JL your amazing †please coach any IPL team
timestamps please
Come on Langer , was it any different wen you all bagged Buchanan and got him sacked ! đąđą
Buchanan wasn't sacked. He made it clear that the 2007 ODI World Cup was going to his last mission as coach. Langer never bagged him, but Shane Warne did.
My mum could have coached that Aussie team and my mum hates cricket she loves knitting..
Hi seems a proper sound bloke .hes got such good stories us poms could of done with him
If only the rumours were true
I would of loved to hear about him and Hayden's partnership both in cricket and personal.
Loved this one. Interesting reading an article about the great man today and reading "said in the News Corp interview, with former West Coast premiership player Will Schofield" I didnt know this were part of news corp?
Anyhoo, JL has been in and around sports since I was a kid. Gutted to see him get shafted by CA though, as he is a great man, i am sure that whatever he does next will be a success.
No doubt whatever is next will be legendary
Coach Scarborough CC and not only would you be coming home, you could stay at home for 12 months never mind 10!! Great insight.....loves the game....đđ
Love u justin langer sir... I am your biggest fan sir.... I always longed you should coach lndia... .. An extremely pathetic behavior by Cricket Australia... Love u justin langer sirđ„°đ„°đ„°
Thanks for the comment. Share the video around!
Absolute legend JL. I haven't watched a game in any form since he left... Cricket Australia has lost the public as well as a brilliant cricketer and person in Langer. No coincidence at all that performance on the pitch has fallen away considerably since he left. Love ya JL, superstar
A diehard!
Very interesting comments on Cummins and Finch. A concern that grown men that were leaders were too frightened to have a conversation that they considered difficult with JL. What does that say about leadership. Its hard to say whether not having Langer as coach was the reason for the World Cup debacle. But I do think the attitude by Cummins and his back room conspirators indicated comfortableness, the tail wagging the dog, and a boys club. Its not a pursuit of excellence in all areas. These are the factors that will stop the Australian team from growing and succeeding as they should. Of course they'll win games regularly, but they should be near the top in all forms. With respect to JL I would be interesting to hear how he adapts his delivery style and communication based on the player/s he's talking to. All good coaches know how to inspire individual players differently. I think Cricket Australia's response to this today has been particularly poor. They've deliberately misrepresented what he said. Really tacky and dare I say lacking in courage.
The players and Langer and CA had two meetings to discuss the issues, they started 18 months ago. Your boy Langer lied as usual. The best thing to happen in cricket Aus was to get rid of this cheating gnome.
Big thoughts!
Seen the real JL for the first time. How could they not like him as a coach? he may be very intense and passionate but still dont understand that mutiny and back stabbing !!
Basically because he is a prick.
Dude was far too micromanaging and abrasive, during the covid bubbles last yr. Cricket coaches usually last around 4yrs, so JL did his time already. Dont blame the players, blame CA for being spineless
@@eyecontrol4900 fair enough !
W PODCAST
You are welcome to Coach team India :) we will show the world his true worth !, maybe IPL?
India's calling!
I thought he was a bore. Looks like he is a talented story teller
i met justin hes a great guy !! Tubby Taylor lost me because of his comments ! not to mention he never went past Don Bradmans record ! what a goose !!!!!!
Nice to meet you Mr Langer
justy and haydos wat a pair
luck is when preparation meets opportunity
Inspirational
I wish you timestamped videos
He tells a good story, seems to appreciate the fascination and giddy dreams of the cricket fan. Though he is off the mark regarding PontingâŠ.he forgets a certain Drag Queen in Kings Cross
Too many good stories to squeeze into one pod
I feel like the newer generation can't take a bit of heat or stress. They get hurt by thin air. JL is a good man.
But JL said he can't handle it either
@@imalwaysright Yep, he can't handle the BS he has to go through, despite šcalming downš and helping the team win its first world t20. That's human. When you're fired for a job that you did with integrity, you're bound to be pissed.
@@JA-oi4vj no. he said he's vulnerable and hurts too, but you just wanna create a narrative as JL the tough man and the players as snowflakes, despite JL saying he couldn't handle social media and would be dead in social media age
Bugger me. How addictive. Good luck topping that boys. Your next guest better be Jesus.
Jesus, what's your best sporting achievement?
@@BackChat probably carried his bat for the Nazareth U/13s.
Great insight after watching The Test. Please stop slipping 2018 in though... đą
Terrific listen. JL's a bloody good bloke. Far too good for the coddled fuckwits in the team now. He should coach England, why not. Go where you're appreciated mate.
Too far from home. If you know Perth well and the suburbs he lives in, then why would you want to spend so long on the road. Its just a wonderful area in a relaxed and beautiful city with a great lifestyle. Something for everyone.
Poms obviously did their research and decided this cheating rodent was not a suitable coach. He lost to India at home twice. đ€Ł
@@jogreeen I think you've got some of your dates and coaches mixed up. In the series against India we were missing our top 3 batsmen Warner Bancroft and Smith. Langer led the cultural change in which the first two years of the coaching stint sportsmanship and the right culture was seen as more important than winning or losing. The cheating scandal was when Lehman was coach. I'd advise you to see the podcast. In the 90 min interview, he touched on the Australian leadership issues for about 2 minutes max. Watching it puts it into perspective. The press tend to exagerate and blow things out of proportion.
â@@jogreeen England never contacted Langer to coach. Langer never made himself available or expressed interest. Being on the road and not in Perth made it difficult when Australian coach. Moving to England wasn't even a slight chance. He has 4 kids (teenagers to mid 20s) and there is no way he was to be away from home 9 months of the year. He said it clearly in the podcast... if you actually watched it! As Langer said, its completely fictional by the press. There was no contact or discussion by either Langer or England. Don't believe everything you read.
England's calling?
I've written down the highlights of the great things he said. I've sent it to friends for inspiration
What an absolute legend JL is, and what a disgraceful decision by cricket Aust to punt him, and just look at the feeble defence of this year's 20/20 world cup!
Like him or not, it was disgraceful how some of the players white anted him out from the job.
JL seems like a good bloke. A few points
I think the cigarette smoking aussies would still be number one in todays game, maybe there is a lesson there
Also I think Cummins knifed JL because heâs conservative
Ciggs for cups?
Love JL. He is a loss to Australian cricket đ
Big love
Male youth suicide has been a huge issue long before social media
Unfortunately
I didn't actually know that? What's the reasons
Oh come on. I love JL, have followed him as long as I can remember, but his record as coach of Australia was ordinary at best. I do wonder how many of you have actually even followed the Aussies during this period. Sure they won the Ashes at home, but it was the weakest England team ever (who even lost to the windies). They lost to England in England, they lost to India in Australia, not once but TWICE!!! And the 2nd time it was the weakest Indian team to have ever left India. If i recall correctly the entire Indian bowling lineup had 15 test wickets between them and no Kohli, and that against Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins and Lyons! Totally embarrassing! Their best result was beating Pakistan in Pakistan. If an AFL or soccer coach had that record he would have been booted out.
I do like JL but he's just stiff. Like relax a bit lol
@8:19
Someone outside the Bourbon and Beefsteak fought Ricky PontingâŠjust saying.
Aussie cricketers forgot they got caught cheating and this guy with Tim Paine came in and got them on the straight and narrow ... then the sooks start winning and they kick them out cause they're hard arses.... I stand with JL..
Tough time to come in for any coach
@@BackChat Unfairly dismissed
