Re: [nukkad] Symonds to face no action for knocking over streaker

[Mean Drake <>]

I doubt if 'normal' legal systems are applicable here. The guy was not legally 
supposed to be running naked on a cricket ground where he had no business to be 
even in clothes. So as such he was in violation of rules. And CA is claiming 
that Symonds "was dealing with self-preservation which we support 100 percent". 
Besides the man had been drinking. Considering all this I for one would love to 
represent this man in court if I was a lawyer :)
And Ravi, I do not think that man was very far from Symonds when he was brought 
down. All it needed was a step from Symonds and a shoulder lunge.
