I found this great photo on this site, but I can’t find any further info about this guy, or when it was. Still, it’s a great pic.

Anger Over Streaker Penalty
Posted in Streaking, NewsThe Daily Telegraph reports that the cricketing powers that be aren’t too fussed with the fine given to One Day streaker Robert Ogilvie, saying it was too lenient and will encourage other streakers. Ogilvie had no conviction recorded and was fined $1500.
Tags:Andrew Symonds, cricket, news, one day streakerAlthough unwilling to publicly criticise Magistrate John Costello, a leading cricket official said ground authorities were flabbergasted at the leniency of the fine.
“It’s incredible that he can get off so lightly - he can just get 10 of his mates to chip in and pay $150 each and the matter is done with,” a cricket source said.

I Was On ABC Radio
Posted in StreakingThis evening I did a radio interview with Andrew Daddo on ABC 702 Sydney about the Symonds streaker. It went well enough, but I now have this sinking feeling about the end of it. I didn’t know the name of the gadget guy who was on after my segment and I strongly suspect I called the station “706.” Eeeep! Ah well.
There may be a transcript or audio file of the segment available soon. I’ll post it up when that happens.

More On The Symonds Streaker
Posted in Streaking, Photos, News
Today there’s plenty of news coverage of last night’s One Day final streaker. Andrew Symonds has not been reprimanded by Cricket Australia for knocking him down, even though he could have faced a ban for “interfering with a spectator.”
The streaker, Robert Ogilvie, has been fined $1500 for “interfering with a person engaged in sport and wilful exposure.” Who knew that interfering with a person playing sport was an illegal offence? Ogilvie says he did the streak after his mates dared him to do so, and he was drunk at the time.
Asked by reporters if he felt embarrassed by his antics, Ogilvie replied: “No. Not really.”
He added that he would not do it again saying: “Nah, Nah. Done it once.”
Admitting it had been the first time he had streaked, he said: “You only live once.”
He won’t be bringing charges of assault against Symonds and apparently said “wake up to yourself” to the reporter who asked him that question.
There’s no further info at present about the second streaker who appeared later in the game.

Andrew Symonds Vs Streaker, One Day Cricket 4 March
Posted in Streaking, Video
When a streaker ran out onto the field at the 2nd One Day Cricket Final in Brisbane, he didn’t expect to run into Andrew Symonds, who shoulder-barged him to the ground.
I saw it happen and was quite surprised to see Channel 9 actually show this footage. Normally they refuse to give any close ups to streakers in case it encourages them.

Note… I’m trying to get the Youtube video to work on this, it’s giving me a bit of trouble.
