Nobody was offended by it.. wrong timing more than anything else, it was a very close game and upsets the rhythm when you have stoppages like that.. that dude got what he deserved and India kicked Australia's butt in the match.. where is dug? :D

If you're offended by it, you're a pussy. Streaking is supposed to make people laugh.

If you're a professional sportsman I'm sure the last thing you want is for some streaker to break your concentration.

That hit wasn't too hard. He got right back up again. This reminds me of the time i was at Fenway and the crowd was bouncing a beach ball and it went into the field and jim Rice popped it with a rake :p

Training with NRL club the Brisbane Broncos paid off for Symonds tonight when he pulled off a monster shoulder charge to end an unsuspecting streaker's run in the second tri-series final against India at the Gabba....

a grinning, naked man unwittingly let Symonds blow off some steam.

During the 10th over, play was held up as the male streaker showed security a clean pair of heels - and a whole lot more.

But as the smug pitch invader rounded Symonds to complete his naked lap, the burly Queenslander put on a hit that left the intruder air-borne - and the crowd gasping....


The spectator is expected to be fined $3,000 for invading the pitch - but faces a possible jail term for wilful exposure.

Hopefully this will discourage this kind of activity at sporting events. I remember an incident a few years ago where an NFL lineman basically bodyslammed a guy who ran onto the field, which was really awesome as well

Sounds like assault and battery and time to call a good lawyer.

I remember a particularly hot streaker during a England vs. Pakistan game. After she was escorted off the field, Shahid Afridi got bowled on the very next delivery. :laugh:

Awww... I thought he hit him with the ball.

Not as good as the drunk Bengals fan that stole the football fro Brett Favre and then stiff armed security.
