Cricket writer Malcolm Conn has himself come under fire for lighting a blowtorch on Justin Langer’s future as Australian cricket coach.

Conn wrote an article on Tuesday that claimed the West Australian cricket legend had a “meltdown” during an interview on his future with Cricket Australia’s CEO and high performance manager on Friday. CA on Tuesday said there were “false claims” in Conn’s story ahead of a meeting on Langer’s future this Friday.

In a heated interview on 6PR Mornings, host Liam Bartlett questioned the sources of Conn, a former Cricket Australia media manager who worked with Langer in 2019, but he refused to address the “meltdown” reference and later questioned Bartlett’s credentials as a journalist.

“Liam, what’s going on… why don’t we finish up here,” Conn said before firing off a series of questions.

“Do you work in the media, or are you just a member of the cheer squad… have you ever been a proper journalist, or are you just an entertainer. Do you understand how journalism works?”
