'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.

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.
