England's cricketers celebrate by taking a slash on The Oval
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.
News.com.au reports that 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.
The article states that 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 team mates.
This could be clearly seen from the outside overflow areas of the press box.
It would have been the only moisture applied to the pitch for quite some time given the deliberate dry and dusty nature of the pitches presented in this Test series to blunt Australia's pace attack and aid spinner Graeme Swann, the highest wicket-taker in the series
