Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from December 28.
Kevin Pietersen had sympathy with England following confirmation of their Ashes series defeat.
If you thought that this #Ashes trip for the England players was going to be anything less than a shambles, you’ve missed the lead up & you didn’t watch the tour of India!
Lead up – quarantine & Covid off field issues a nightmare!
India – batters can’t bat!

And still NOT blaming the players. It’s the system! And, I’ve been on two 5-0 defeats and they’re horrendous for all!
My advice – DO NOT GO TO THE NETS! Get away from cricket & turn up the day of the next game.

Even Australia’s Prime Minister took to Twitter.
How good!!! They don’t come much bigger than that. An Ashes triumph to rival the best at the G. Congratulations to @patcummins30, @stevesmith49, Justin Langer and the whole team – and especially @sboland24 – an inspirational performance. A great day. pic.twitter.com/LIfj0Bs8bi
