Former England batsman Marcus Trescothick recalled a story from 2005 when he left his then-teammate, Kevin Pietersen with a broken nose. 

Speaking on the Barmy Army podcast, Trescothick revealed about the fun Karaoke night in Lahore on their tour to Pakistan. He said, “There was one night in Lahore of all places. After the 2005 (Ashes) series, so the end of 2005.”

“We lost the second Test match and the series was over. Vodafone had organized a karaoke night for us in the hotel. It was just for the players and the staff but everyone was so annoyed and disappointed that only about eight of us turned up,” he said.

Trescothick further added that they got drunk and then the real fun started. His teammates were there who had a lot of fun singing and dancing in each other's company.

“We had this massive room and a karaoke machine. You know how hard it is to get a drink in Pakistan, it’s nigh on impossible. We had all this beer, tequila and stuff that had rocked up from the high commission.

“There were about eight of us there just messing around and it turned into one of the most entertaining karaoke nights I have ever heard."

“I think it was me, KP, Paul Nixon, Hoggard was there and Jim the guy from Vodafone.”

The ex-cricketer said he doesn't remember the best singer of the night as they were high. But he does remember headbutting his mate Kevin Pietersen. “I can’t remember because were absolute smashed to bits. I remember headbutting KP and I thought I’d broken his nose.

“He had pinned me down on the floor and I just went ‘bang’ like that and nutted him one on the bridge of his nose. We were mucking about – too much tequila does that to you, doesn’t it. “In the middle of Lahore, in this hotel where no one else knows and behind closed doors–it was the best karaoke singing you’ve ever heard.

“At the end of it all of us, all eight of us or whatever it was, got on stage and just sang to the empty room.”
