Anderson says England needs to improve game from summer Ashes to retain urn in Oz

England pace spearhead James Anderson has warned his team to improve their game and be ready to face the pressure from the Australian media and public during the return Ashes series.

Although Anderson encouraged his teammates to enjoy the experience of playing in Australia this winter, he however, admitted that they would be facing a tough time in the series as Australia will be pulling out all stops to snatch back the urn from England.

According to Metro.co.uk, Anderson said that they would have to play much better than the previous Ashes series despite winning them 3-0 in order to retain the urn this winter, adding that it would be a huge achievement for England if they win this Ashes as no England team has won four consecutive Ashes series.

Anderson further said that he has not set any personal goals for this series, adding that he just wants to contribute and help England win Test matches and, ultimately, the series.
