Kevin O'Brien left himself a hefty bill for repairs in a hard-hitting onslaught for Leinster Lightning against North West Warriors in Dublin, after smashing his own car windscreen while hitting a six.
In a match reduced to 12 overs a side due to rain interruptions, O'Brien's bruising innings of 82 from 37 balls was more than enough to secure a 24-run DLS win.
However, it later transpired that one of his eight sixes had sailed into the car park at Pembroke Cricket Club, and wrecked the rear window of his Toyota.
It had been a typically belligerent onslaught from the 36-year-old O'Brien, whose greatest claim to fame was the 50-ball hundred against England at the 2011 World Cup in Bengaluru, but who was also at the crease at the Ageas Bowl last month while Ireland once again chased down 329 to beat England.
For Leinster, O'Brien struck his second ball for six and didn't let up, despite the risk of his momentum being interrupted by a mid-innings rain break.
Leinster finished with 124 for 4 from 12 overs, leaving the visiting Warriors a near-impossible task of chasing down the massive target in dull, damp conditions.
They lost wickets early in the response, and apart from William Porterfield's 50 from 30 balls, never looked like coming close.
