Warner and Smith are ready to face fire in England: Langer

The English crowd may throw some taunts on Steve Smith and Warner during the World Cup but they are ready to "face the fire", says Australia coach Justin Langer.

Warner and Smith return to high intensity action at the showpiece event after serving out their one-year bans, imposed for their role in last year's ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.

Langer admitted that controlling the crowd is not their hands but urged the fans to
"What we've got to understand is that they're human beings as well. There's not too many I've met in my life who like being booed or heckled or disliked so they're human beings."
"We're going to have to care for them. We are going to have to put an arm around them and make sure they're going ok. But what people say, whether it's in the crowd or social media or wherever there's nothing they can do about that they can't control it but what we can do is keep an eye on them and make sure they're going ok as people as much as cricketers."
