The photo basically tells the whole story: Australian cricket player Andrew Symonds knocks a streaker down during a match in Brisbane. For more details we'll turn to the Australian newspaper The Age.

Training with NRL club the Brisbane Broncos paid off for Symonds tonight when he pulled off a monster shoulder charge to end an unsuspecting streaker's run in the second tri-series final against India at the Gabba....

a grinning, naked man unwittingly let Symonds blow off some steam.

During the 10th over, play was held up as the male streaker showed security a clean pair of heels - and a whole lot more.

But as the smug pitch invader rounded Symonds to complete his naked lap, the burly Queenslander put on a hit that left the intruder air-borne - and the crowd gasping....

The spectator is expected to be fined $3,000 for invading the pitch - but faces a possible jail term for wilful exposure.


Fark calls the picture, taken by Greg Wood of Agence France-Presse and available to FanHouse via Getty Images, the international sports photo of the year. It's hard to disagree.
