THE JUSTIN LANGER STORY | Will Schofield & Dan Const | BackChat Sports Show 

I could listen to JL talk forever! Cheers for a quality poddy lads

He tells a great story, could listen for hours to this legend

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. 😊

JL is just amazing. Loved every minute of this 👍👍👌

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

Fantastic Interview boys, could listen to JL all day. My sporting hero

Great person, leader, motivator and mentor . A lot of “nuggets” in there for many.

I'm a South African and have so much respect for this guy

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.

Loved his time at Somerset in the UK please come back!!

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 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 done…..

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.

Brilliant One of the greats I could listen to him all Day

Great podcast, what a WA legend 🏏🏏

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).

Loved it, love JL. Thanks all that was awesome.

Absolutely brilliant interview!

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.

The great, great man.

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.

Brilliant chat

i like how he explained kerry pecker story

This bloke is my hero.

Top pod boys!! JL a true champ!

Great pod boys! JL legend!

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

Need to publicly know why he's not still the head coach of the Australian men's team

that packer story is amazing hahaha

Love ya JL ❤

The greatest question was never asked “ JL, you say you eat leg spinners, how did you go facing Warnie at training?”

Legend

25:00 G.S. Chappell employed the reverse sweep in the late 1970s. He was the first I remember.

JL your amazing ❤ please coach any IPL team

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.

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 sir🥰🥰🥰

I would of loved to hear about him and Hayden's partnership both in cricket and personal.

Hi seems a proper sound bloke .hes got such good stories us poms could of done with him

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....👏👏

timestamps please

Come on Langer , was it any different wen you all bagged Buchanan and got him sacked ! 😢😢

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.

W PODCAST

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 !!!!!!

luck is when preparation meets opportunity

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 !!

I wish you timestamped videos

You are welcome to Coach team India :) we will show the world his true worth !, maybe IPL?

I thought he was a bore. Looks like he is a talented story teller

justy and haydos wat a pair

He tells a good story, seems to appreciate the fascination and giddy dreams of the cricket fan. Though he is off the mark regarding Ponting….he forgets a certain Drag Queen in Kings Cross

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!

Great insight after watching The Test. Please stop slipping 2018 in though... 😢

Bugger me. How addictive. Good luck topping that boys. Your next guest better be Jesus.

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.

Like him or not, it was disgraceful how some of the players white anted him out from the job.

I've written down the highlights of the great things he said. I've sent it to friends for inspiration

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

Love JL. He is a loss to Australian cricket 🏏

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.

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 he’s conservative

Male youth suicide has been a huge issue long before social media

@8:19

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

Someone outside the Bourbon and Beefsteak fought Ricky Ponting…just 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..
