Cricket Announcer Delivers Terrific On-Air Meltdown After Ball Dents Roof of His Car

This is funny … assuming you get a laugh out of middle-aged cricket announcers from New Zealand melting down on-air after a ball dings off the roof of their rental car. The pain-and-anguish from Ian Smith when he realizes Jesse Ryder’s ball may have hit off the roof off his rental car and dented it is fantastic. His co-commentator asks if he has insurance, to which Smith replies, “It’s a rental.” The comic timing on that line is perfect — better than most scripted comedies in fact.

The story ends on a positive note because Smith finally realizes he might have parked a little bit further behind the hot dog stand. Tragedy averted.
