The 36-year-old had made an unpleasant comment during the 2nd ODI between England and Sri Lanka on Thursday and received criticism from the people on Twitter. The wicketkeeper-batsman had drew parallels between cricket bats and the 'neighbours wife' while commentating on the game. Bats are like a neighbour's wife.

I got a lot of stick from my wife and my mum for saying that."
