Langer's toughest XI
1- Graeme Smith
2- Andrew Strauss 3- Sachin Tendulkar 4- Brian Lara 5- Jacques Kallis 6- Mark Ramprakash 7- Alec Stewart 8- Andrew Flintoff 9- Wasim Akram 10- Courtney Walsh 11- Muttiah Muralitharan __________________ Very Pom heavy with Ramps the surprise entry also short on Saffers usually the 2nd best side during Langer's time and Indian's side that gave Aus the most headache in his era. |

Langer and Ramps were teammates so it's not that much of a surprise.

Ramps's record against Oz is actually pretty decent, tbf. Averages 42-ish versus his career figure of about 15 lower. & runs scored against one's own team count double, obvz.
Lack of Curtly must be the biggest surprise. Not a chap whose toughness I'd questions & he did some of his best work versus the crims too. 7-1 & all that.

keeping your eyes on the ball is toughness

Just a quick look to see if Langer was dismissed more times by Walsh (3 times / 13 matches) or Ambrose (3/7) and was surprised to see Ajit Agarkar having dismissed him the most!
Overall I think its a fine side, I'm interested to know for his reasons to bat Tendulkar at 3. |

Charl Langeveldt was a prison warden in one of the country's toughest jails, but I doubt he would qualify if it was just Langer's opponents
