Langer's advice to England ahead of Australia Ashes showdown

While England have had mixed results of late and currently sit in fourth place in the ICC World Test Championship standings following their recent 2-2 against India at home, Langer wants to see the side take a different approach when they arrive in Australia later this year in the battle for the Ashes across five Tests.

Langer believes England have been dictated to by Australia's bowlers in recent away tours and wants to see their batters take on the high quality Aussie pace attack when the first Test commences in Perth on November 21.

"Call it Bazball or the aggressive approach, but I think England must play that approach in Australia. No question, because it'll put pressure back on," Langer told the BBC Sounds' For the Love of Cricket podcast.

"The only players who had success against Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath were those who attacked them. They got back in their face and they hated it because no one did it.

"It's going to take courage because you have got Mitchell Starc bowling like he does, Josh Hazlewood never misses the spot and Pat Cummins is a generational bowler. So it's going to take great courage."
