A man's near-successful attempt to escape the clutches of the law, after streaking across Dunedin's University Oval during the Black Caps' T20 match against Australia, has been captured on film by fellow cricket fans. The packed embankment at University Oval made for difficult going for the burly naked man as he obviously struggled to jog his way through picnic blankets and beach chairs. "Was chatting to a cop as I walked back to the car after the game. Perhaps surprisingly a naked man running around North Dunedin stands out," Ian Simpson posted on Twitter. Streaking is against the law in New Zealand and the man is likely to now be trespassed from University Oval and charged with offensive or disorderly behaviour.
