Just lack of intent and game awareness, Justin Langer blasts Australia after Headingley loss

Meanwhile, Australia coach Justin Langer was fuming in the dressing room over skipper Tim Paine’s sloppy field settings in the middle which allowed Stokes a single on the last ball of the over and kept the new man Leach off the strike. This meant Aussie missed a go at Leach early in his innings with the likes of Pat Cummins and Robert Pattinson in red hot form.

"Bring them all in..you have to bring everyone in, surely! Everyone. If it’s a four so what? You want to ball as many overs as u can to the number 11. I would rather have Ben stokes hit six off that ball and we still get six balls to leach," India Today quoted Langer just before the ball.

“Opportunity, in my opinion, 71 to go, last ball of the over , there is no way there can be a run there. We would have got 6 balls at Leach, and we have gotta squeeze him, squeeze in on him. We can’t give an easy run like that. He had faced 220 balls and we have got Leach who comes in, we want Pattinson to have 6 balls at Leach, Surely. The opportunity missed there is that we let him a single. That is just intent. That is just some game awareness which we talk about.”
