England players allowed to use Twitter in Ashes

James Anderson, Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad all have Twitter accounts but team management decided against an outright ban even after Kevin Pietersen used the site this year to post an expletive-laden complaint about his omission from the one-day side.

Captain Andrew Strauss says, “We like to treat people like adults” and that “we’re going to come up with a set of guidelines as to what’s best to put on there and what’s best not to put on there.”
