Michael Owen made a staunch defence of footballers amid criticism over goal celebrations during the pandemic.
I purposely avoid talking politics on here but I get so frustrated with people constantly targeting footballers. Yes, a few players have broken lockdown rules over the last 9 months which is unacceptable. But when you consider how badly other professions have handled this...... — michael owen (@themichaelowen) January 14, 2021 pandemic, I think football, on the whole, can hold its head up high with the likes of @MarcusRashford and @JHenderson to name just two, being shining examples of how to be a role model. Footballers are easy targets and always have been but we'd be struggling far more than we..... — michael owen (@themichaelowen) January 14, 2021 currently are without football and it's participants. I for one am immensely proud of how football, on the whole, has conducted itself in recent times and can't stand people, many of whom are making dozens of mistakes themselves, who deflect criticism towards footballers. — michael owen (@themichaelowen) January 14, 2021

But Sri Lanka's display came in for serious criticism.
Those 46.1 overs have been the worst possible advertisement for Test Cricket ... it's supposed to be the pinnacle ... that was utter garbage Sri Lanka ... #SLvENG ... anyway time for a brew #OnOn — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 14, 2021 Good from @englandcricket, but it didn't need to be anything more than that. But wow, that was so poor from Sri Lanka, having won the toss and batting on the best part of the pitch. Time for England to be ruthless with the bat, work hard and don't let Sri Lanka back in! — Ian Bell (@Ian_Bell) January 14, 2021
