“I reckon Australia is going to win The Ashes.”I think Australia will win The Ashes.So, the Aussies win the T20 World Cup and The Ashes and JL is going to resign.
JL will resign after the Aussies won the T20 World Cup.JL is going to say you know what, I have achieved what I come in to achieve and I’ve copped so much criticism.JL will say, “You know what? I achieved what I came in to accomplish and have received so many criticisms.” I have had so much stick put on me,” Clarke told Big Sports Breakfast show on Sky Sports Radio.Clarke said that she has been subject to so much criticism,” Clarke stated on Big Sports Breakfast on Sky Sports Radio.
“He’s going to say I’ve done my time, come to do a job and get Australia back to No.1 in the world and I have done that and I’m out of here.He’ll say that I’ve completed my time and come to work to get Australia to Number 1 in the world.I did this and am out.I don’t even reckon he will go to that (tour of Pakistan).He won’t go on that tour of Pakistan, I doubt it.I reckon his last Test will be the last Test match of The Ashes series.His last Ashes Test will likely be his final match.Australia will win and they will take a new coach to Pakistan,” added Clarke, who captained Australia to 2015 Cricket World Cup at home.

Langer has been the head coach of Australia post the Sandpaper saga in 2018.Langer was the Australia head coach after the Sandpaper scandal in 2018.
In this time, he got some success in Test cricket, including retaining The Ashes in England in 2019.He was the head coach of Australia after 2018.
At the same time, he received criticism for Australia losing to India at home in 2018/19 and 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar trophies.He was also criticised for Australia’s defeat to India in the 2018/19 and 2020/21 Border Gavaskar trophies.
But after Australia lost the T20I series to West Indies and Bangladesh, Langer came under criticism for his coaching style.Langer was criticized for his coaching style after Australia lost T20I to West Indies, and Bangladesh.
Clarke compared Langer receiving criticism to how former captain Ricky Ponting faced the same at the end of his career.Clarke said Langer’s criticism was likened to the way Ricky Ponting dealt with it at the end his career.
“Don’t get me wrong, I hope I’m wrong.Don’t be misled, I hope that I am wrong.I think Langer is the right guy to be coaching Australia right now, I think he’s done an absolutely brilliant job.Langer, which I believe is the best person to coach Australia at this time, has done an amazing job.But I just think with all the criticism.it’s a little bit like Ricky Ponting at the end of his career.It’s almost like Ricky Ponting when he was at the end his career.I think Punter (Ponting) got to a stage where all the criticism finally caught up with him and he said, ‘You know what, I’ve done everything I can, my time is up, I’m out of here’.”.Punter (Ponting), reached a point where the critics finally got him.He said that he’d done all he could, his time was up and it’s over.
Clarke believes former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie, currently the head coach of West End Redbacks in Australian domestic cricktet, could become the next head coach if Langer leaves.
Clarke thinks Jason Gillespie (ex-Australia pacer) could be the next coach, if Langer is forced to retire.At the same time, he wants Cricket Australia (CA) to shake up the coaching system.
Clarke also wants Cricket Australia (CA), to overhaul the coaching program.
“Probably Jason Gillespie.Jason Gillespie.I think there’s an opportunity to look at two coaches — a short-form specialist and a long-form specialist.
There is an opportunity for two coaches to be considered — one short-form and one long-form specialist.The only problem with that is, is there enough money in the pot for the two coaches to get paid and still do the work?.Problem is that there isn’t enough money to pay the coaches and do they still have the ability to work hard? Even though it’s Test cricket only, it’s a little bit like (coaching rugby league’s State of) Origin, it’s still a full-time job.”.It’s Test cricket, but it is a lot like the (coaching rugby league’s State of) Origin.However, it’s still full-time work.
“You got to go and watch games, talking to states and high-performance manager.You have to travel to watch the games and talk to high-performance managers and states.It will still be a full-time job.This will be an ongoing full-time position.As long as they can pay both coaches enough money, I actually think it might be the right time to transition into a short-form coach and a long-form coach.”.It is possible to make the transition from a coach of short form and long-term as long as both are able to pay enough.
