Pattinson will return to Australia next week after sustaining a stress fracture in his lower back bowling in the second Test. He felt the lack of rest between innings was a contributory factor.
“When you go out doing what you do it’s hard on the body and in an ideal world you’d like a bit more rest than that. It’s far from ideal,” Pattinson said. “It could have been worse, but it’s pretty shattering when something you’ve worked so hard for is taken away. It’s a hard road.”
It has been an unspoken ambition for Alastair Cook's team so far to make good on the predictions of former Ashes-winner Ian Botham - among others - to beat the old enemy 5-0.
But after England went 2-0 up with their 347-run trouncing of Australia at Lord's, and as he anticipates the prospect of completing a third successive Ashes series win on his home ground at Old Trafford next week, fast bowler Anderson has broken ranks.
The tourists pushed England hard in the first Investec Test at Trent Bridge, where a tireless Anderson had to bowl 13 consecutive overs on the final morning and ended up taking Australia's last four wickets to hold on by 14 runs to take a 1-0 lead.
It was a very different story at Lord's, though, where England recovered from a blip on the first morning - when they were 28 for three - to dominate the match on the back of Ian Bell and Joe Root's centuries and nine wickets for off-spinner Graeme Swann.
Anderson still expects Australia to show plenty more fight, but has no time for those who have begun to feel sorry for Michael Clarke's team after their at times hapless display at HQ.
"I don't really feel any sympathy," Anderson said.
"We want to win the series 5-0, so we will be doing everything we can in each game to win."
It will be a dream scenario for Anderson, of course, if he can help clinch the urn on his home ground.
A third successive Ashes series victory has not been achieved by England since all-rounder and all-time leading Test wicket-taker Botham thrillingly turned the 1981 series in their favour - including a famous century in Manchester.
For Anderson, there is no place like home.
He has a very modest record across the Pennines in Leeds, and has so far played only three Tests at the ground where he learned his trade with Lancashire.
"Cricket is huge in the north, and I hate Headingley, so it is good to play a Test at Old Trafford," he said of a venue which has undergone a much-needed transformation in recent years.
"There is so much history at the ground.
"It was in need of a lick of paint, and it got that and a little more - so I think it is going to be an amazing atmosphere."

England want to look at Taylor against Australia with a view to him replacing Kevin Pietersen for the third Ashes Test if he fails to recover from a calf injury.
Pietersen is undergoing intensive treatment this week on his left calf but England will name cover for him when they announce the squad for the Old Trafford Test at the weekend with Taylor’s appearance for Sussex confirmation that he is the frontrunner.
Taylor played two Tests last summer against South Africa but doubts about his technique at the highest level led to his being overtaken during the winter by Joe Root and Nick Compton.
But he has scored two centuries, including one double, in the first division of the Championship for Nottinghamshire this summer forcing his way back into contention.
England view Compton as an opener not a batsman to slot into the middle order, making a recall this week unlikely.
Gary Ballance of Yorkshire netted with England at Headingley before the second Test against New Zealand in May and is highly rated but likely to be kept back until the one-day series against Australia after the Ashes.
Ravi Bopara is also a candidate for a Test recall but a side injury has curtailed his cricket in recent weeks.
Taylor made his debut at Headingley against the mighty South African attack last summer and batted for nearly two hours in the first innings with Pietersen.
There were reports Pietersen belittled Taylor’s performance in the dressing room during a match when his relationship with England fractured completely. Taylor has said he has no knowledge of the incident.
The 23-year-old played in the next Test at Lord’s and was run out going for fourth run in the second innings as England lost by 51 runs.
Taylor’s appearance for Sussex is the second time England have used county matches against Australia to their own advantage with Compton turning out for Worcestershire.
Pattinson suffered the injury bowling on the first day of the Lord’s Test and throughout the match lacked the potency he showed at Trent Bridge. He took two for 137 at Lord’s and his biggest impression on tour has been with the bat.
He tops the batting averages after almost taking Australia to victory at Trent Bridge in a last-wicket stand with Brad Haddin and on Sunday defied England for two hours as they chased victory.
“We had some scans done today in London that have identified an early stage low back stress fracture,” said Peter Brukner, the Australia team doctor.
“Unfortunately he will not take any further part in this Test series and will commence a rehabilitation programme with the aim to have him back for the Australian summer.”
Lehmann sympathised with the workload of his bowlers, who are also having to dig their side out of trouble with the bat. “I have played this game and felt sorry for the bowlers – they only got 3½ hours off. The bottom order needs a rest before they go and bat,” he said.
Pattinson’s injury is also a reminder of the fragile health of the current crop of young fast bowlers. Cummins has been out since the new year, Pattinson broke down with injury four times last year and Ryan Harris played his first Test at Lord’s since April 2012 due to a string of fitness problems.
Australia have options in their 18-man squad. Mitchell Starc, Jackson Bird and James Faulkner will all play this week against Sussex at Hove in a three-day match starting on Friday with places to be snaffled in the third Test. Nathan Lyon, the off-spinner, will also play against Sussex.
Despite the Lord’s hammering Lehmann insisted morale is good and “out of 10 I would say eight out of 10”.
Morale may be high according to Lehmann but former players want to see improvements and Allan Border led the criticism yesterday as Australia digested the Lord’s hammering.
Border, the man who rebuilt Australian cricket in the 1980s, has said he would be embarrassed to be part of the current team who have a tail end outperforming the top order. Border, writing in an article published by the Cricket Australia website, hit out at the current generation which has now lost six Tests in a row and finds itself 2-0 down to England, the first time an Australia side has been in that position since 1890.
“Watching today I could honestly say the nine, 10 and jack [No?11] looked more competent than our one, two and three. If that was me in the top three I’d be embarrassed,” he wrote after the defeat at Lord’s.
Border took over the captaincy of Australia in 1984 when Kim Hughes resigned in tears after losing six Tests in a row. He initially lost two Ashes series but instilled a hard work ethic in a new generation of young players winning the World Cup in 1987, beating England in the final, before regaining the Ashes in stunning style in 1989.
He earmarked young players such as Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh, and stuck by them when they struggled at first. “We need to settle on our best XI and stay with it. I’m a believer in the pick-and-stick method, so we need to find our best XI that’s suited to the conditions,” he said.
Border singled out Shane Watson for his failure to learn from his consistent lbw dismissals.
“We all know what a wonderful player Shane Watson is,” Border said. “He looks like a million bucks when he’s firing. What is worrying though is that he keeps getting out in the same fashion. Now who is to blame here? Is it Watson for not adapting? What about the coaches?
"In an era where we’ve got a thousand coaches and psychoanalysts and dietitians and sport scientists it defies belief that a player can be making the same mistakes. Whether it is a technical thing or a mental thing, I don’t know. Is Shane not listening, or are people saying, ‘Bad luck, you got a good one’?
“Whatever it is, we need to find out soon or Shane’s time will have come and gone and we won’t have seen the best of him. The buck stops with Shane and he needs to figure it out quickly because it will be a real shame if he doesn’t fulfil his potential.”
Watson took a leg-side guard in the second innings at Lord’s to try to solve the problem, a tactic that did not work.
Lehmann said: “I actually think it was a pretty good ball to be fair from Anderson. It nipped off a length and cut back. The first innings he played across his pad but this innings I thought he played pretty well. We would love him to make big runs as everyone would but he is just one of the top seven who has to do it.”
Lehmann said of his team to play against Sussex: “Ashton is a bit sore and I don’t think he will play in Sussex so Nathan Lyon will play obviously.
“Then we just have to look at the wicket [at Old Trafford] because history shows it spins a bit. If it’s going to spin we will certainly have a look at two spinners. Matthew Wade will play in the tour match too.”
Pietersen is undergoing treatment on a calf problem ahead of the third Ashes Test which starts at Old Trafford next Thursday, so there is a chance that his place in the batting line-up could become available.
Several names have been mentioned as possible replacements, including Ravi Bopara and Gary Ballance, but with Taylor trading Nottinghamshire for Sussex at England's request, the 23-year-old would seem to be next in line.
"We would like to thank Nottinghamshire CCC and Sussex CCC for their support and understanding in allowing Nottinghamshire batsman James Taylor to play for Sussex against Australia in the three-day tour match beginning on Friday," said England coach Andy Flower in a statement.
"This will provide James with a valuable opportunity to play in a longer format of the game while we consider our options ahead of the third Investec Ashes Test next week. Kevin Pietersen is continuing his recovery from a calf strain and a decision about his availability for the Test will made nearer the time."
The three-day game starts at Hove on Friday, with Australia looking to build up some confidence after two demoralising losses in the first and second Tests.
Taylor said: "I'm hopeful that KP will be fit to play and, as it stands, I'm preparing to play in the three-day game for Sussex and nothing more.
"I'm disappointed to have to miss two big Notts matches but the Sussex fixture will give me an opportunity to get some red ball practice and then I'll wait and see.
"I'm not back in the Test side yet but I'm pleased to be a step closer to it and I've always dealt with situations like this by concentrating on the game in hand and refusing to look too far ahead."
Taylor is no stranger to the Test environment having made two appearances last summer including a 147-run stand with Pietersen against South Africa at Headingley.
Meanwhile, Australia have called up rookie off-spinner Ashton Turner for the match after deciding to rest several senior players.
Turner, who will make his first-class debut in the three-day match at Hove, has been playing for Chichester Priory Park as part of a development programme run by Cricket Australia and Hampshire.
The 20-year-old has taken 18 wickets at an average of 40.78 for the Sussex Premier League club this season and will be one of three spinners in the Australia side, along with Ashton Agar and Nathan Lyon.
Australia captain Michael Clarke will miss the match amid reports that his long-standing back injury flared up after the second Test defeat to England at Lord's. Vice-captain Brad Haddin, openers Shane Watson and Chris Rogers plus pace bowlers Peter Siddle and Ryan Harris have all been rested, with Ed Cowan to captain the Australia XI.
Mitchell Starc, Jackson Bird and James Faulkner will be all be pressing for a place in the Australia side for the Old Trafford Test after James Pattinson was sidelined with a stress fracture in his lower back.
Turner was a member of the Australia Under-19 team that finished runners-up to India in last year's World Cup. He was one of six Australian Institute Of Sport scholars to be awarded a summer placement in England.
Agar was also on the scheme and he had been playing club cricket at Henley before he was called into the Ashes squad. Turner linked up with the Australia team for the first Ashes Test in Nottingham, when Agar scored 98 on debut.
Australia team: Cowan (capt), Hughes, Khawaja, Smith, Wade, Faulkner, Agar, Turner, Starc, Lyon, Bird.
