Justin Langer wants to settle one last score | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited Sport

Langer , the opener and lead singer still smarting from last Ashes defeat.
Extract.

"After almost all of Australia's 11 Test victories since last year's Ashes series, Justin Langer has led his team-mates in a rendition of the victory song, Under the Southern Cross I Stand. Traditionally, this has been a time for beer and bonhomie. Lately, though, the celebrations have been somewhat muted. 'We have said after each Test win, 'This was a great win, but don't forget that we will not be truly judged until the next Ashes',' Langer says. 'That was my suggestion. I lead the team song at the end of winning a Test, and that is the message I have wanted to get through to everyone. It has filtered through the team.'"
