Graeme Swann admits English cricketers urinated on the Oval pitch

England cricketers celebrating after winning Ashes

England spin bowler Graeme Swann on Tuesday confessed that some of his teammates may have urinated on the Oval pitch during late night’s celebrations of their Ashes victory.

Australian journalists earlier reported seeing three England players – James Anderson, Kevin Pietersen and Stuart Broad – relieving themselves on the pitch as the players held a private midnight party on the Oval turf.

As reported by NDTV Sports Swann said: “We did go out to the middle of the pitch, all the lads, drinking beers, singing a few songs and enjoying each other’s company.

“I think the call of nature might have come once or twice, but it was nothing untoward.

“It was midnight, a private celebration in the middle of the pitch and the ground was dark.
