Leading former Australia players, including Langer`s teammates Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, had expressed sadness at his treatment.  Langer said that after he quit he recalled a conversation with CA`s interim chairman Richard Freudenstein, who was not pleased with the media coverage favouring the former batsman.

"The first thing he said to me was `It must make you feel so good that all your mates are supporting you in the media,`" Langer said at a Chamber of Commerce event in Perth, as reported by Australian media.

"I said, `Yeah, it is, acting chairman. But with all due respect, those mates are also the all-time greats of Australian cricket. They are the fabric of Australian cricket, they are Australian cricket.

"So yeah, I`m glad my mates are looking after me. Imagine if you had have`.

"Ironically, the last six months of my coaching career were the most enjoyable period of 12 years of coaching. Not only did we win everything, but I had energy, I had focus and I was happy -- besides the bullshit politics."

CA was not immediately available for comment.

Langer`s resignation came a day after his England counterpart Chris Silverwood left his job and the Australian was linked with the vacant role which eventually went to New Zealander Brendon McCullum.

"I`ve never spoken to English cricket," Langer said. "The thought of coaching England... mate!"
