Symonds unleashes a harsh tackle

10 most embarrassing crowd moments in the cricketing history 1

During a One Day international match against India in Brisbane back in 2008, a fan dressed in absolutely nothing stopped the play as he invaded the pitch to complete a lap of honour around the ground.

But little did he know that running in the direction of Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds was probably the single biggest mistake he would make in his whole life.

Symonds, who used to train with a rugby club in the off-season, finally ended the streaker’s joy run with a classic rugby crash tackle that left the pitch invader flat on his back.
