Cricketers aren't known for being the toughest athletes in the world, by Symonds definately put a shoulder into that dude. You have to love the reaction from the Indian players.

Another way to deal with a partitial streaker   (fyi, the host is VERY gay)

Good for him, although if he would have done that in the states he would have got hit with a lawsuit.



By the way, whats up with the white lipstick??

Zinc cream to protect against the sun. He's worn it for years.

Anyone have a full translation? My limited German only got me to a few words, and the fact that it's Dutch doesn't help either  

Quoting NWADC9 (Reply 9): Anyone have a full translation?

From the moment the streaker appears:

S: "Stop animal suffering! Free all animals! Meat is murder, free all animals!"
P: (when streaker runs up the stairs) "no no no, hello, butcher, come here! No, just come here. If you want attention, you'll get attention.
What are you saying anyway? I can hardly understand you!"
S: "Hi, I am the vegan streaker!"
P: "What are you saying?"
...(repeats his 'name')
P: "Yeah, stand there for a minute, I have a phone call to attend to."
(streaker wants to leave)
P: "No, you're to stay where you are! You'll get all the attention you want, but now I'm going to take this call. I wouldn't show those asscheeks cause they make me hungry."
P: "Stay there. What's your first name anyway?"
S: "Vegan"
P: "Yeah ok, but your real name is just Jan, or Kees,.."
S: "It's my stage name. It's not about me, but about the cause I'm fighting for"
P: "Doesn't matter, I'll just call you Michael Boogerd (Dutch cyclist he slightly resembles)"

(goes on with show)
After other guest is gone, goes to streaker:
P: Come here, you little nut. Right, on my lap. Now, tell me exactly what it is you want done with the animal suffering." (starts peeking into guy's underwear)
P: Comes in here, just like that, unannounced, so I think, well, let's see exactly what we're dealing with here (Dutch expression is 'wat voor vlees heb ik in de kuip', i.e. what kind meat am I dealing with) (gropes him again)
P: No, I want to see it! You started it! You started it! So then you really have to streak! (pulls off streaker's underwear) If you're going to streak you really have to streak!
S walks off, P throws guy's underwear into the audience.

P talks to the director to make sure it wasn't staged.

P starts smelling his hands:
P: "Well, I smell... no no, not meat! I smell carrots, asperges, ... A real cucumber dick, real cucumber dick!
Lovely when we go live, this kind of thing can happen!

There you go, translated the relevant parts.

Oh, and the streaker talks with a bit of a lisp, so that adds to the comical effect.

This is something very new.No streaing out here.
Great Tackle though.

Whats the reason for this streaking.Is it media attention?

Kartik & Uttapha had a laugh.Guess the rest were concerned about winning the Final

Reminds me of the British streaker, who decided to run across the pitch at the Irish hurling championship about ten years ago. One of the players wacked him across the butt with the flat side of a hurling stick    before the guards got him.

Somehow nobody like narcistic streakers.

Still the best though, was the time (and I'm having a brain fart here atm, can't remember the crickters name) an Aussie cricketer grabbed hold of the streaker and really laid into him across his bare butt with the bat. Now that was GOLD!

Quoting Airfoilsguy (Reply 4): Good for him, although if he would have done that in the states he would have got hit with a lawsuit.

Who? The cricketer or the streaker? I can tell you that the streaker will more than likely get done for "pitch invasion", which is a nice little fine!

But most probably also indecent exposure, which carries another fine.

Wow good for him
I'd also get pretty pissed if someone interupted my game

Anybody else think that announcer was a bit too excited when he proclaimed, "IT'S A BOY"

You wouldn't see Cosell doing that, Pete Jackson maybe, not Howard.

Quoting FlashFlyGuy (Reply 13): I can tell you that the streaker will more than likely get done for "pitch invasion", which is a nice little fine!

I think a life ban might also apply to this guy.

So during a cricket match an Aussie Rules Football game breaks out? That batsman gave that fool a good lick. I bet he had a few too many VB's (beers) in him. I bet it woke up the crowd too.

The best reaction to a streaker was during the Oscars back in the mid-1970's. Actor David Niven was on the stage to be a presenter of an Oscar when this guy streaks the stage. His response was deadpan priceless - that the man had to 'show off his shortcomings'.

It just said on the evening TV news, the streaker has been fined $1500.00 in court today. Interesting that they've now censored the footage, so you don't see his snag flapping around as he runs across...   

The ground is going to review security in how he was able to get onto the pitch.

If only he had used the bat

Ah, it was the undercurrent of irony for which cricket commentators are well renowned. Don't worry about that bit, it was entirely in keeping with the teasing style as per normal.

The cricketer


Let it be known that the above is the first time this yank has ever used the word "cricketer"

Um, no. But, apparently;

Symonds to face no action for knocking over streaker

The game isn't very well known in the US, many years ago I was travelling with my young nephew around the US and he was carrying his cricket bat on board the flights (before 9/11). He was getting quite frustrated at having to correct the F/A's when they called it a 'paddle'. Till we were boarding a UA 737 in Seattle and the F/A on the door as we entered actually called it a 'cricket bat' and the nephew was stunned. Turned out the F/A was a "Yankee" cricket fan and always tuned into TV coverage from Canada. He and the nephew spent some of the flight discussing the finer points of the game.

Had a laugh when I saw that.

Stupid fool for invading the pitch. I am guessing he may have had a few too many beers.

I don't blame Symonds for doing it. He was probably concentrainging on the next delivery and then this fool comes along.

If it were me I would have given the guy a whack across the backside with the bat.

Quoting FlashFlyGuy (Reply 23): Symonds to face no action for knocking over streaker

If he had used the bat, what would have happened? The streaker would most probably file charges (unless he is a die-hard Aussie Cricket Fan and doesn't want to hurt Symonds, which is quite possible if you are willing to streak [and I don't think he was an India fan]).

Saw a interview with the streaker on Sky News earlier. He said that he was shocked, he had not expected such a reaction. He also took it with good humor. He had always wanted to run across nude at least once, but will not do it again.

He also mention that the tackle from Symonds was like a footy (Australian Rules Football) tackle. And he would not go streaking in a footy game.

He was also fined, can't remember quite how much it was, but I think it was $1800
