The ghost of Justin Langer's coaching career is set to loom over the Test summer, with the former mentor's criticism of Cricket Australia and senior players a likely sign of things to come.
Langer attracted front- and back-page headlines on Wednesday when he lashed out at officials over his February axing, while accusing players of not being up front with him early enough.
The former coach also claimed the majority of players supported him, while labelling sources who leaked concerns over his intense nature to the media as "cowards" with agendas.
