Australia profiles: Justin Langer
Mark Butcher
By Mark Butcher
Former England batsman

FACTFILE
J Langer
Left-handed batsman; right-arm medium-pace bowler
Born: 21/11/70
Test debut: v West Indies, Adelaide 1993
ODI debut: v Sri Lanka, Sharjah 1994

Langer is a high-quality opening batsman. He has enormous powers of concentration and absolutely loves scoring runs for Australia.

He gets hit by bouncers a bit but they don't really get him out very often, so you cannot call that a weakness as such.

It might be an area where England try to attack him early on, but he's actually more likely to get out lbw walking across his stumps.
