Australian coach, Tim Nielsen, was sorry about the Justin Langer dossier leak but Michael Atherton believes Langer got it spot on.

Tim Nielsen believes the inadvertent leak of Justin Langer's dossier affected his relationship with the former Australian cricketer and not in a nice way.

While Nielsen insisted that the presence of the Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, meant that the Australian team did not have knowledge of England or their players, he felt that by the leak, his relationship was compromised.

Meanwhile, former England captain and now commentator, Michael Atherton believes that Justin Langer was not entirely off the mark. He believes England cricketers do actually lack an inner toughness and are not even sure about what it really means after Stuart Broad defined it in terms of staring back at the Australian batsmen. He stated that Australia's mental toughness would not allow them to cave as England did at Headingley in the fourth Test of the Ashes.
