John Buchanan, the former Australian cricket coach, says he hopes there’s a decision soon for the current coach saying that ‘they have really hung Justin out to dry’.

After more than 8 hours of deliberations, no decision will come from Cricket Australia tonight on Justin Langer’s Australian cricket team coaching role. 

“Whether they are going to reappoint him or not going to reappoint him, it’s just become a real saga (and) I really don’t understand why it has to be,” he said.

Mr Buchanan was commendable on Justin Langer’s performance in the role so far.

“When he came in, he was asked to do two things, and that was to fix the culture of the team. Make the Australian Cricket Team a likeable team once again. And play hard, play fair and win some games,” he said.

“And if we look back on those four years period, he’s done both.”

The former coach also spoke on the sort of relationship an Australian cricket coach should have with their players.

“They’ve got to understand what it means to be an Australian player. They’ve got to understand the privilege they’ve been given. Justin is, I think, one of the best people to do that,” he said.
