Top 5 left-handed Australian Test openers of all time

#3 Justin Langer

Justin Langer was not a natural opening batsman but in fact, a batsman who primarily played at number 3. However, after he made his comeback to the side, he became an excellent number 3 and eventually one of the world's premier opening batsman after Michael Slater lost his place in the side.

Langer turned himself into an ultra-aggressive opening batsman and destroyed bowling attacks all over the world. He was technically superb and at ease against both spin and pace, which is why it did not come as a surprise when he scored runs in all conditions.

He is without a doubt, one of Australia's greatest ever left-handed opening batsmen and in the 65 Test matches that he opened, Langer plundered 5112 runs at an average of 48.22. He made 16 centuries and 18 half-centuries.
