Streaker to spend a week in jail for world's greatest nude run

An Australian man has been sentenced to a week in jail after a naked streak attempt at a Sri Lankan cricket ground went a little soggy.

When rain delayed the first day of the Test cricket match between Sri Lanka and Australia, the man decided what better way to pass the time than to ditch his clothing prison and stride naked across the covered cricket pitch.

His running was somewhat limited however, because plastic becomes slippery when wet and the man's romp looked more like a baby giraffe learning to walk moments after being shot out into the world.

According to The Australian, locals reported that charges were pushed for by a senior Buddhist monk.

The man was arrested by police and a local judge ordered him to pay a fine of 3,000 rupees (AU$26) and spend a week enjoying Sri Lanka from within the cosy confines of a jail cell.
