Dawid Malan says England have not given up on winning the Ashes even if he admits they will need a much improved performance in the third test in Melbourne from Sunday to get themselves back in the series.
The top order batsman said morale in the England camp was “fine” after some honest discussions in the wake of humbling defeats in Brisbane and Adelaide.
“We realise we haven’t been good enough across all facets of the game. The boys want to win, we want to win the series too. Malan’s batting has provided some of the rare highlights for England with an innings of 82 in Brisbane and 80 in Adelaide, but the 34-year-old conceded even he had to be better.
