'We've got the foot on the throat and we want to continue that momentum', former skipper Steve Smith has made Australia's intentions clear as the hosts aim for 5-0 series whitewash against the struggling English side in the Ashes. With an unassailable 3-0 lead, Australia have already retained the Ashes but now aim for some drubbing against their arch-rivals. 
England are struggling and that has been evident in the series so far as the visitors have practically shown little or no fight in the 3 Test matches. Captain Joe Root who has been the lone ranger for the visitors in the series has once again urged his team to stand up and fight. He said, "We're better than the performances you've put in, we'll know that and we've got two chances now to try and try and get something from the rest of this tour".

We've got two games here to show how much we care about that and to make sure that we put in better performances than we have done so far on this tour.

Ashes 3rd Test: England jolted with 4 positive Covid-19 results in the camp, tour to continue 

A struggling England&nbsp;suffered another major blow as Cricket Australia confirmed a Covid-19 breakout in the visiting camp ahead of Day 2 of 3rd Ashes Test in Melbourne&nbsp;on Monday. Two members of the support staff and 2 family members tested positive on the morning of Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test vs Australia.&nbsp;

Ahead of the Boxing Day Ashes Test match in Melbourne, Australia's head coach Justin Langer said that though the hosts will look to win every Test match, their focus is not on a 5-0 scoreline. 
Langer said that winning the World Cup and the Ashes were his 2 missions and as they did in the World T20, Australia will take one game at a time. 'We've won two Test matches. We've got one to go and hopefully from our point of view, that happens this Test match,' added the Aussie head coach.
Australia lead the 5-match Ashes series 2-0, and a win in the 3rd Test starting December 26 will give them an unassailable 3-0 lead in the Ashes series.

Ashes: 5-0 scoreline not the focus ahead of the Boxing Day Test, says Langer

We were able to get accomplished that result. And we're doing the same here.

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has come down heavily on Joe Root and slammed him for criticising English bowlers for the Adelaide Test defeat. 
In an interview with Cricket.com.au, Ponting said that he nearly fell off his seat when he heard that. 'Whose job is it then to make them change? Why are you captain then?' asked Ponting.
After a crushing defeat in the 2nd Ashes Test, Root had said that his bowlers should have been "braver" and bowled fuller. Responding to that, Ponting added that Root can come back and say whatever he likes but if you're captain, you've got to be able to sense when your bowlers aren't bowling where you want them to.

BITE: STEVE SMITH, Captain, Australia
'Well, it's tough captaining a team when you're winning games of cricket, simple as that. You know, there's always going to be critics out there and stuff that is going to critique your performance as a captain. So I think for him (Joe Root), I guess the best advice I could say is just trust yourself, back yourself and do everything you can to help your team grow and be as successful as you can be. Sometimes as a captain, you get outplayed by the opposition and there's not a great deal you can do.'

Ahead of the pink-ball Test, England skipper Joe Root said that the visiting side has some big decisions to make.&nbsp;
BITE: JOE ROOT, Captain, England
'We'll have a look at the surface and we'll see how the training goes, see how everyone pulls up, and then we've obviously got some big decisions to make, but one of the great things is we're going into this test match and both of them should be fit and ready to go and with that amount of experience within your squad it's obviously exciting, so plenty of good options to choose from.'
The Adelaide Test will be a pink-ball affair, something which Australia has dominated, especially in their own backyard. But Root looks determined to take that challenge head-on.
BITE: JOE ROOT, Captain, England
'Any test match you need to put a score on the board, regardless of what colour ball is or where you are in the world. You need some runs to work with if you want to take 20 wickets so that focus will still be there.'
