When they were losing in England, opening batsman Justin Langer said: "If we execute our skills well, we will beat anyone in the world. That's not being arrogant, that's just a fact."

DIED. Susanne K. Langer, 89, American philosopher who synthesized the thinking of several disciplines into an influential new theory of human mentality; in Old Lyme, Conn. Her seminal work, Philosophy in a New Key (1942), shows how symbol making is the basic function of the human mind and rejects the dichotomy between thought, as expressed in language, and feelings, which require some other sort of symbolic portrayal, like art.
