The facilities and work, everything is being done as it always has been, we just haven\u2019t been able to find a way to get wins on the board. It has been frustrating from a players\u2019 point of view because we know we\u2019re better than that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not involved in selection or any of those things, so I don\u2019t know how that works or who is in charge of all that, but as players we need to take responsibility when we cross that rope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malan broadened the focus away from Mott\u2019s future, insisting that everyone involved in the campaign would be feeling the same heat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lost to New Zealand, 9 wickets<\/li>\n<li>Beat Bangladesh, 137 runs<\/li>\n<li>Lost to Afghanistan, 69 runs<\/li>\n<li>Lost to South Africa, 229 runs<\/li>\n<li>Lost to Sri Lanka, 8 wickets<\/li>\n<li>Lost to India, 100 runs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWhen you don\u2019t perform well enough as a team there will be questions asked of certain people, whether that is the players, captain, selectors, coach, whoever it is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is always going to be questions asked, that just comes with it. The only way to change that narrative is to put runs on the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the mood is still extremely good in the camp. It still feels like all the boys are together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know people say that a lot when their backs are against the wall but genuinely, we still back each other and we\u2019re still here for each other. We just haven\u2019t been able to put those performances out on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/matthew-mott-england-dawid-malan-bangladesh-india-b2439112.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Sign up to our free sport newsletter for all the latest news on everything from cycling to boxing Sign up to our free sport email <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/%d1%81ricket\/dawid-malan-shifts-blame-away-from-england-head-coach-matthew-mott\/\" title=\"Dawid Malan shifts blame away from England head coach Matthew Mott\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293633,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
