"Graeme Swann Death Threats" Graeme Swann the England spinner has received death threats through Twitter, following the whitewash of England with 5-0 against India in the recent concluded One-Day international series, played in India. England lost its complete 10 wickets in just 47 runs, after a promising start in the final ODI of the series.

However, a fruitful year for English cricket came to an end on Tuesday, after India wrapped up the series with 5-0 over the team Swann and his team. Swann said that, he had received threatening messages from the irate English fans of being unhappy with the performance of England against India. Swann did not play in the fourth ODI of the series and failed to pick even a single wicket in his eight overs he has bowled.

The elegant off-spinner further said that, he would not disregard the received death threats on Twitter and added that, he could understand it, after receiving hundreds of threatening after the final match. He also said that, no everyone of the cyberworld would have a perspective, as it is just a game of cricket and once could understand why people get wound up, as it is not easy to watch them just losing, but the way of losing.

The 31-year-old spinner insisted that, the poor performance of England in India has nothing to do with the publication of his autobiography, in which he aimed several criticisms at Kevin Petersen, while he was captaining the England side. He added that, England has faced a horror month, but it has nothing to do with what he has written about Petersen in his book.
