Stuart Broad slammed the Edgbaston surface as"soulless" and described it as one of the slowest he has encountered in England after Usman Khawaja's unbeaten century dragged Australia back into the contest and left the first Ashes test finely poised.
"How can I be polite? It's a very slow, low surface that saps the energy out of the ball," Broad said."It's pretty characterless so far, pretty soulless, but you can only judge a surface towards the end of the match and see how it develops. "Hopefully it's not a trend for the whole series," Broad said."It's certainly one of the slowest pitches I can remember bowling on in England.
