The 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.

Although 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.
