While admitting that England were thrashed in the recent one-day series by India, off-spinner Graeme Swann has rejected accusations that the visitors went over the top in sledging of Indian players, even to the extent of getting personal with some of them.

"There has been a lot of talk about England's on-field behaviour in the five-match series, especially after MS Dhoni claimed some of our sledging was over the top and we were arguing among ourselves. As for sledging the opposition, I don't think any of our chat has been over the top or personal," The Sun quoted Swann, as saying.

"I know there have been running battles with a couple of India's players and I think caused by individuals in our team disliking individuals in their team. We have played India for three months now. You're never going to like all 11 blokes in the opposition.
These things happen," he added.
