  • New Zealand streaker has a role model

    A female streaker tries to get Ross Taylor's attention on Day 3 at the New Zealand vs Pakistan 2nd Test, Basin Reserve, Wellington.  Of course, his score of 97 was the only other positive in the match which Pakistan won by 141 runs.

     

    Hope this streaker can use the streaking experience to the same effect as Lisa Lewis. 

    Some years ago, Lisa Lewis of Hamilton, New Zealand gained notoriety after streaking in a bikini at Waikato Stadium in 2006 during a rugby test.   Arguing that running onto the field in a bikini was not exactly streaking, she auctioned her bikini for $4000 to pay the court fines.  As her website says, her ensuing media and cyberspace cult-following caused "a storm in a D cup."   There was no looking back for her after that episode as she launched a career as a news reader, an entertainer, and became a household name in New Zealand.
