To Sports Fans in America, the sport of Cricket had always been an odd game for many reasons. For one, Cricket matches can continue for five consecutive days. It got a whole lot more odd this past Sunday after English Cricket Players celebrated their Ashes Victory by urinating on The Oval pitch.
England's victorious Ashes celebrated their win over Australia by Urinating on The Oval pitch - 8/26 England's victorious Ashes team celebrated their win over the old enemy Australia by getting drunk on the Oval
pitch before apparently urinating all over the wicket.
Star players including Kevin
Pietersen, Stuart Broad, and Jimmy Anderson reportedly queued to relieve themselves on the strip while teammates cheered wildly.
A picture tweeted by England's wicket keeper Matt Prior showed the squad sat on the Oval after dark surrounded
by beer and champagne.
In a distasteful display about five hours after the last Test was called off for bad light with England in sight of victory, the players gathered near the pitch celebrating and yahooing.
While the centre of the ground was quite dark, lights were on in the grandstands with dozens of people still cleaning up after a late finish which saw the game go beyond 7.30pm.
A number of players including Stuart Broad, Kevin Pietersen and Jimmy Anderson took it in turns urinating on the pitch to the cheers of their teammates.
This could be clearly seen from the outside overflow areas of the press box.
