Cricket just gained a looot of respect in my book

Article contains a naked butt, which is fairly NSFW for most, so I'll just quote the article and leave it up to you to look for the picture--which certainly is worth loading up..

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
 
Wasn't it Ray Lewis or some other football player that did something similar when a drunk idiot ran out on the field? Thankfully the guy wasn't naked.
 
That's kind of mean. Streakers don't hurt anyone.

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

I remember that. That dude really got slammed too. It wasn't Ray Lewis though. Forget who, I think it was a defensive lineman.
 
I have a question about this:
"The spectator is expected to be fined $3,000 for invading the pitch"

Does the place where this happened actually have a law that is tied to Cricket? Wouldn't this just be trespassing in the US?

You are holding up the game, that tends to upset pro players quite a bit.

PS watched the video, that shoulder check was exquisite. The commentaries are priceless.
 
Did he do it all by himself, or did he need a runner? I mean that over before the tea break was tough... whew!
