Newly-retired off-spinner Graeme Swann has sparked talk of dissension in the English team, accusing unnamed cricketers of being up themselves.
"Some people playing the game at the minute have no idea how far up their own backsides they are,'' Swann told English journalists after his retirement announcement.
"It will bite
them on the arse one day and, when it does, I hope they look back and are embarrassed about how they carry on.''
Commentators such as former English players Derek Pringle and Michael Vaughan have assumed he was referring current English Ashes squad members.
But Swann quickly hit back on Twitter, denying he was referring to current players and claimed he was targeting Vaughan and Pringle.
