TWO streakers who allegedly interrupted a Sydney Big Bash League derby have appeared in court.
Josh Hudson and Chad Sharp had their cases adjourned at Waverley Local Court today as they needed to seek legal advice after being hit with fresh charges.
The men, who allegedly ran naked on to the Sydney Cricket Ground in January, have been charged with wilful and obscene exposure in a public place and entering a playing field without authorisation.
Sharp has also been charged with destroying or damaging property.
The two are scheduled to reappear in court later this month.
The Sydney Sixers were about to crash to a humiliating eight-wicket thrashing against Big Bash League cross-town rivals the Sydney Thunder when Hudson, 23, and his cousin Sharp, 27, appeared without their clothes.
In front of a record 39,756 spectators, the young tattooed pair evaded up to 20 security guards before being crash-tackled.
The morning after the event, Sharp revealed he had been made to change his position on the act after receiving feedback from families at the ground.
“I wouldn’t say I regret it (but) obviously I feel a little bit bad after getting some of the mail,” he told Nine’s Today.
“It’s affected their night with having young children and that. If I could go back to that moment where I was about to jump the fence I wouldn’t do it again.”
Hudson told the Daily Telegraph outside his Pitt Town home that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
