What are the chances of two exciting incidents happening five seconds apart in a game of cricket? Pretty slim when ball-bludgeoning Jesse Ryder is in town.

Sky Sport NZ commentator Ian Smith was calling the plays on the Otago Volts' Georgie Pie Super Smash (a real competition) game when Ryder climbed into a long-hop delivery. The ball disappeared into the evening sun before landing on the roof of some poor unfortunate's car. Former New Zealand cricketing international Ian Smith was commentating on the 20/20 match and soon twigged that his rental car had been given some character. 'I don't believe it. I think it's mine,' squeaked Smith. 'It's the same colour; same make. Think I parked it there five hours ago.' Hat-tip to Awful Announcing.
