Symonds floors streaker
04/03/2008 13:10 - (SA)
Sydney - Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds flattened a streaker who ran on to the field during Tuesday's second tri-series final against India at the Gabba in Brisbane.
The naked man came off second best after he evaded security
and charged towards Symonds while he was batting during
Australia's run-chase.
Symonds stood his ground as the man approach and dropped
the pitch invader with a rugby-style shoulder charge.
The man was arrested by police and faces the possibility of
a fine and a life ban from the Gabba.
Symonds, who briefly contemplated a career in rugby league
before he broke into the Australian team, also faces the risk
of punishment under the International Cricket Council's strict
code of conduct.
The code includes a section banning players from any
physical assault of a rival player, official or spectator.
