Ex-England pacer Tim Bresnan had pulled off a prank on his teammate Graeme Swann. The incident happened back in 2012 during an ODI series at home against Australia.

James Anderson had also joined Bresnan to make sure the plan doesn't fail. Before the fourth Test at Durham, Bresnan got his hands-on master key of the hotel they were spending their night. He had access of all the rooms and that's when an idea to prank Swann came in his mind.

“We’re in (the hotel) and I come back to my room after training, walked through the door, and there’s a key card on my dresser. I thought, ‘That’s weird, I don’t remember leaving that there.’ I picked it up, tried the door, and it’s worked,” Bresnan said at Yorkshire Cricket: Covers Off, according to Fox Sports.

“Then I tried next door and it worked; it let me in. It must have been a master key, one of the cleaner’s keys or something. You can only imagine the fun we could have had with this key. I said to Jimmy (Anderson), ‘What room you in mate?’ and he showed me which one it was, and I was like, ‘There you go mate.’ He was like, ‘What, how did you just do that?’”, said Tim.

Anderson and Bresnan decided to put an adult video on the TV set in Swann's room. “So we waited for Swanny to leave for dinner and we go into his room and turn the mattress upside down, we put porn on the TV, turned it up to full blast, took the batteries out of the remote, we stole all of his minibar, we cleaned out his minibar, we ordered some room service,” he said.

“We basically ransacked his room, chucked his wardrobe all over the bed and stuff like that, and then we went for dinner,” he further revealed.

Funnily, they later found out Swann’s wife was also staying with him at the hotel. A day after the incident, the poor guy told his teammates about the incident. “We’re walking across the bridge and just as we went across the bridge, down come to the stairs Swanny and his wife … we didn’t have a clue that she was there.

“He was describing the scenes the next day, ‘I couldn’t get the video off the TV lads, I literally couldn’t get the video off the TV. I got room service to come and make my bed, and all three of us were stood there watching the video while she was making the bed up,’” Bresnan said.
