Graeme Swann branded all batsmen "pussies" as he finally lifted the lid on his long-running feud with former England team-mate Kevin Pietersen in an explosive interview.
Swann, 44, endured a fractious relationship with Pietersen during their playing days and has revealed that the pair "always hated each other." The South African-born legend isn't the only person to have felt Swann's wrath in a fresh outburst, though, as all batsmen have found themselves in the firing line.
During a drama-ridden period for England in 2012 and 2013, Pietersen allegedly accused the spin bowler of being a 'bully' after shouting at him whenever he misfielded. Swann, however, retorted when speaking to Fox Sports Australia: "Batsmen are all pussies, and they can't ever accept their own failures and hold their hand up when they f*** up in the field and say sorry."
