JOE always wondered if the so called ‘commentators curse’ stretched beyond the realms of what it’s more commonly know as.

It’s just meant to be but this footage of New Zealand cricket commentator Ian Smith watching on as the ball hits his own car is much worse.

A six was just stuck by Otago Volts’ Jesse Ryder during a recent Twenty20 game and it landed in the worst place possible for the match commentator.

Take a look.
