I'd like to think this is real.

I wish it was real and applied at all times, not just in high winds. I went to a cricket world cup game in 1999 involving Scotland. It was like a Spencer Tunick photo. Maybe it's a northerner thing though. I also went to the AUS v PAK game at Leeds and there were about 6 streakers that got less and less 'skillful' but more and more funny as the day wore on. The last one was most memorable and not just because it happened directly in front of us. Young geezer jumped the fence, beer in hand, ran about 10m onto the field and then tried to drop his trousers. He couldn't get them off over his shoes so just hopped about another 5m before falling. Security didn't even break stride in retrieving him and dragged him off the field. It was a pretty good game (we lost by a few, Inzamam tonked us all over the place) but the best action was in the stands. A little brouhaha broke out on the boundary when some of the PAK fans took umbrage with an Aussie larrikin trying get some pitch information by waving a tenner at the PAK fielders.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t.

I was hit a run in about 1964, just a young'n back then. I was thrown about 15-20m, the offending car stopped and a woman got out, looked at me lying on the road, got back in the car and drove off. It was a saturday morning and shops closed at 1200 midday back then. My mum drove past as the ambulance fellas were treating me. I guess it was around 1130am because, when she saw I was standing she told me to walk home and she would see me there ('You get yourself home'), she had shopping to do. It was around 1km walk home. That's just the way it was back then.
