ASHES: 'Thought My Test Career Was Over': Dawid Malan After A Gritty Knock Against Australia

By AFP News December 10, 2021 • 15:44 PM View: 1169

England number three Dawid Malan admitted on Friday that he thought his Test career was over before his recall to the team earlier this year.

The 34-year-old South African-born Malan was speaking after his gritty 80 not out in England's second innings against Australia in the first Ashes Test at the Gabba.
Malan and England captain Joe Root (86 not out) put on an unbeaten 159-run partnership to guide the visitor to 220-2 at the close of the third day and give itself hope of salvaging at least a draw.
It would be a remarkable achievement considering it was bowled out for 147 in its first innings, then watched as Australia made 425, a lead of 278 runs.
