England may not have had a great Ashes thus far, but they had some positives—and Dawid Malan is one of them. The Englishman played quite spectacularly in the third Ashes in WACA and has now called for his team-mates to be as aggressive with the Kangaroos as they have been with the Three Lions.

"I personally believe we need to be as aggressive with these guys as they are with us," he said.

Malan then stated the reason behind his claims, point out the fact that letting the Aussies go softly allows them to dominate against the opponent.

"If you ever take your foot off the gas with these blokes, they seem to really, really dominate.

"It showed at Adelaide when we were aggressive to them under lights in their second innings - we attacked them, and they fell away just as we did at certain times."

However, Malan is not advocating sledging, something which the Baggie Green have seemed to master, all he wants is a positive body language.

"It doesn't mean you have to chirp," he said.

"It doesn't mean you have to get in people's faces, but ... be positive in everything and don't take your foot off and let them get into the game."

The WACA-centurion then plead his team to avoid making mistakes as Steven Smith and his men always pounce on them and make the visitors pay for it. He also recommended the team to be mentally strong as the pitch is a really tough place to be.

"One little mistake out here, and these guys seem to pounce on it," added Malan.

"You have to be mentally strong.
