Cricket-Langer keen to continue as Australia's head coach, despite criticism

Australia coach Justin Langer said he was hurt and confused by some of the criticism he received from the players over his style of working but remains keen to lead the side and get an extension when his current contract runs out next year.

Reports of dressing-room unrest and discontent over his coaching style surfaced after Australia were beaten 2-1 in the test series at home by an injury-ravaged India in January.The players took part in an end-of-season review with leadership consultant Tim Ford, and Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch said this week that Langer had cleared the air before flying with the team to West Indies.

"Some of the things I was reading were a bit confusing actually. If I'm completely honest I was really hurt by some of it. The feedback I've been given for three years has been overwhelmingly positive of the role that I've been able to play as a coach." "I didn't like losing to India in the amazing series, no one likes losing. I'm absolutely committed, I love my job, I love the Australian cricket team, I love the players and I love Australian cricket.
