England Cricketers Apologize for Urinating on Pitch
England's cricketers have apologized after team members were seen urinating on the pitch at The Oval as they celebrated the Ashes series victory over Australia on Sunday.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the team responded to criticism by accepting "we got carried away (in) the euphoria of winning such a prestigious series and accept that some of our behavior was inappropriate."
The fifth and final Ashes test at The Oval in south London was drawn, giving England a 3-0 series win. Australian journalists reported seeing England players drinking beer and urinating on the field during a late-night celebration.
The England players say if their behavior offended anyone, "we apologize for that and want to reassure people that it was a simple error of judgment more than anything else."
