Sore losers

Coming from Langer a statement which says the ICC World team as sore losers is quite interesting. I mean is this the same person from the same team that uses sledging and racial comments to win matches when nothing goes their way?Everybody knows for a fact that the Australian team's dominance started by sledging and racial comments in the late 90's and all this because they were not men enough to accept defeat and play the game in the true spirit.
When they lost the test match in Nagpur 04-05 they blamed the pitch.Mr. Langer isnt that an EXCUSE? Coming from a team that claims, is the best should be able to adapt to any pitch offered.
When England won the toss and elected to field and later when on to win the match in the one day tri series preceding the Ashes, Ponting said England had the advantage as it was cloudy in the morning when Aus batted and in the afternonn the sun came out and batting was made easier. Tsk.. Tsk.. who is the sore loser here , Mr. Langer??
Aus won the 3 matches because they batted first and in recent times we have seen most teams bat first,put up a huge score and win would have been interesting to see Aus chase.
