Australia's batting hero
Justin Langer warned England to expect a tough time after the hosts took a
grip on the fourth Ashes Test at the MCG. Langer scored 250 as Australia declared on 551 for six before
terrorising England's batsmen, leaving the tourists flailing on 97 for
three at the end of the second day. Langer told Sky Sports: "We are in a great position. It looks like the
pitch in going to spin a bit. England are in for a tough game from here on
in. "We're in a good position now and hopefully we can put enough pressure
on England and win the game." On the innings that put Australia in the driving seat, Langer said: "It
was probably not the best I have ever hit them. I am thrilled. It was nice
to capitalise and get the opportunity to get a really big score. I really
wanted to take the opportunity to nail a big one. "It gets easier because the ball gets older and it loses a bit of extra
bounce and pace but you are still facing world-class bowling. "You can never afford to think it's getting easier otherwise you end up
back in the changing rooms."
