Symonds Stretchers Streaker

Published by SJ at 12:03 am under General

What side of the fence do you sit? I remember a few years ago, a person known to me became an overnight sensation after jumping the fence and tackling the Powers Beer Can mascot that was dancing around like a niff at a very early Bronco’s game. He was cheered by the crowed, giggled at by the players and interviewed by FM radio stations all over town the next morning. From that time to this, the once famous ground invasion has gone from a nice little break from proceedings to the crime of the century.

I enjoyed Channel 9’s addition to the telecast as I ate dinner last night. There is something hypnotising about watching a mans testicles bounce around as he runs for glory across a packed Gabba stadium. If only my father were alive to see it!

Even more enjoyable was Andrew Symonds crunching shoulder charger that bought an end to this beautiful moment. At least I can live with the knowledge that the imagery of a slow motion shoulder charge and naked sprawl of a winded streaker will make newsreels around the globe.

My concern now is that said streaker does not feel he has been hardly done by and sue Andrew Symonds or Cricket Australia. I hope he has fun with it and takes this as a slap on the cheek, so to speak. Surely there will be no punishment for Symonds from cricket authorities either.

What are your thoughts on this? Should this go any further or can we leave it for the moment it was.

    I don’t think Andrew Symonds should have done what he did. Who is he to drop shoulders into people he doesn’t like? He will be dropping shoulders into Harbhajan Singh next.

    It was quite good to see. I had a laugh anyway. Symonds just mad a citizens arrest on a person who was indecently exposing himself.

    There should not be any problems for him after this.

    I ‘ll be carrying out the same evasive manoeuvre the next time and every time a naked man runs towards me.

    Perhaps Harbhajan Singh needs a shoulder too?
    The real news though was Australia got beat again. Thats about $10m worth of players not worth the $50 or so entry fee to the match. Farewall Gilly.

    Woody, the only time a naked man will be running towards you is when you find one of your wife’s “gay” friends in bed with her & you’re blocking the doorway for his exit!!

    Woody…..your retort is a bit decrepit.

    reminds me of the time I up ended a certain web master in a a certain bin outside a certain pub……..don’t think he was naked though……think he lost his pride but not his clothes……so maybe morally naked…..

    I will vouch for that. Poor little Shirvy floundering in the bin provided the line at the Regatta cab rank with the most entertainment they’d had in a long time!

    Hey Jockey Joe Jackson, you don’t want to start throwing out stories about mishaps at night clubs do you?

    Wasn’t the Regatta also the place where the road outside was deceptively flat one time?
