The NSW media attack on Langer continues to increase its intensity. Today
the dreaded Conn joined the hit squad with a lengthy piece about his experiences with JL when Conn was something useless in the CA set up. Of course, no players or other officals names were mentioned.
It's a disgraceful and entirely fact-free attack. According to the "Poison Typewriter Club" (DK Lillee) the recent poor results have nothing to do
with leading players (and Mitchell Starc) being absent, nor is the poor
form of certain players (like Mitchell Starc) a factor, nor is pressure of being in the covid bubble worth a mention. Nope. It's allll Justin Langers' fault.
And who are the players that are feeding a compliant media their dirt? I'd
be putting money on a coterie from a certain State. You know, the ones
involved in the Sandpaper episode and those big money players who are struggling for form.

Unable to recall a single instance of a NSW player or official *ever* being
the target of *any* degree of attack by their scummy media. Otoh... John Buchanan, Shane Watson, Darren Lehmann, Ricky Ponting, Mitchell Johnson,
Xavier Doherty and several shedloads of others. Bah!
