Is Langer Trying to mock akhter?

Langer recently gushed that he often found himself preoccupied by Akhtar as he lay in his bed at night.


"Justin dreams about him? I won't touch that," Gilchrist told guffawing reporters.

This appeared on Newspaper "the age".

I guess Pakistnis won't be happy to see their only match winner be ridiculed :p

langer's been quite outspoken of late...personally i wish he didn't make so many comments the media can pounce on.

Langer is in good enough form to paste him, but thats still an audacious and arrogant comment.

I don't see what's arrogant about that comment. If I was preparing facing a quality pace bowler I'd be dreaming about him/her too, purely out of excitement, anticipation or nervousness.

the comment of langers as written above is totally out of context, langer was actually complimenting akhtar in the interview.

But I don't think that's the way he meant to say it.

In addition to "making an effusive display of affection or enthusiasm", gush also means "to emit a sudden copious flow".

So I think that The Shoaib should feel flattered. But Langer may well find himself beaten severely by Hayden in a fit of not-very-Christian jealous rage.

Nikhil\Vande - I really do wish you'd stop posting post after post trying to degrade Pakistanis - just wait until the series, OK? It's getting incredibly boring.

Who really cares if Langer is mocking Akhtar? If Shoaib has any kind of maturity it wont make any differance.

Must be a rather meaty one, with a big engine, and a lot of power. Maybe the Hayabusa? or Ninja?
