Edgbaston pitch in Ashes was like 'kryptonite': Anderson

Expressing his displeasure over the flat pitch in the Ashes opener, veteran England seamer James Anderson says he’s “done” if similar tracks are produced as a reminder of the series.

Ahead of the series, England skipper Ben Stokes said England wanted fast, flat pitches to help execute their attacking style of play.

However, Anderson said the benign Edgbaston track was “like kryptonite for me”.

“If all the pitches are like that, I’m done with the Ashes series. That pitch was like kryptonite for me. There was not much swing, no reverse swing, no seam movement, no bounce, and no pace.”
