A cricketer's moment of joy quickly turned to despair after he hit a six and smashed his dad's car windscreen while playing against Oxfordshire County Cricket Club.

Olly Rogoff, 22, had been trying to secure a win for Herefordshire County Cricket Club when he began going for boundaries while chasing a target of 182 runs on Tuesday, July 11.

His dad Nigel was parked by the edge of the pitch to watch his son in action and was in the driver's seat when Olly's fourth six shattered his car window.

The glass smashed and left several cracks across the windscreen.

Olly's efforts weren't enough as Herefordshire lost by 124 runs against Oxfordshire.

Luckily, Nigel saw the funny side after the National Counties Championship match and said: "It's just one of those things."

He told BBC Hereford and Worcester: "When I got there, I pulled up on the boundary. I was there about 10 minutes.

"I was the only car there, actually, on that side. It came down with snow on it I think. It made me jump.

"I was sat in the driver's seat and I just waved out of the window and Olly had his hand on his helmet in the middle of the pitch.

"Obviously it caused a lot of amusement to everyone."

Herefordshire coach Richard Skyrme said: "I don't know how many yards it is that side, but possibly 250 yards and to plonk it on your dad's windscreen has ended the game on an amusing note."
