Well, India beat Australia in the one day international cricket last night. Congratulations, India, but who really cares? The big news of the night wasn’t cricket but Andrew Symond’s crash tackle on a streaker who invaded the field while Symonds was batting. This has made the news around the world.
Here’s the streaker, one Robert Ogilvie, aged 26 of the Brisbane suburb, Parkridge South, running towards Symonds.
Then Symonds puts the shoulder into him as he runs past, and absolutely decks him.
Ogilvie scored a $1,500 fine today after pleading guilty to charges of interfering with a person engaged in sport and wilful exposure. The court did not enter a conviction after hearing that he took to the field after getting drunk with his friends and that he was now remorseful. Police prosecutor Tina Green told magistrate John Costello that Ogilvie had explained to the arresting officers that “it was just something he had to do”.
My favourite photo of the incident is this one of the police attempting a cover-up.
I had to have a laugh with senior commentator and cricket doyen Richie Benaud when he said when on the wide shot “at the moment we don’t know if it is a boy streaker or a girl streaker”. Ha! Ha! Suck eggs, Robert Ogilvie, goose!

Great!!! His butt needs some sun. LOL!
I saw them interview Ogilvie when he came out from the court house. “Something he HAD to do”…Oh pleeeeze spare us! Things people HAVE to do…climb Mount Everest, jump out of a plane at 14,000ft…run naked thru the one day international cricket at the Adelaide Oval, SA. not likely!
hahaha nice! looks like he got what he deserved :p
Kudos to the policemen that covered his, you know what
I couldn’t help but think Symonds was picturing Harbajarhn when he flattened that bloke. The footage is on youtube if you’re interested.

Um… why on earth would a guy run around buck nekkid when he’s fully aware that other guys are right near him wearing protective gear and carrying large wooden paddles?!? Unless this guy’s a unic, I don’t get it.
