England spinner Graeme Swann has revealed that he received death threats on Twitter in the wake of England's ODI whitewash in India.
The 32-year-old told The Sun: "Although I don't condone death threats on Twitter, I could almost understand it when I had a couple of hundred people threatening all manner of retribution after Tuesday's match.
"Not everyone in cyberworld has a perspective - after all, it is only a game of cricket. But you can almost understand why people get wound up.
"It can't be easy to watch us, not just losing but losing the way we did."
The two sides contest a Twenty20 game in Kolkata tomorrow.
