Cricket Australia's Twitter account had a cheeky reaction to
O'Brien's very expensive six, tweeting: `What ever happened to the 'Luck of the
Irish'?..`What ever happened to the 'Luck of the Irish'?..KEVIN O’BRIEN SMASHES
SIX....and his own car window. Seriously. This was now viral one on all social
media platforms around the world. Here the details..Kevin O'Brien has made a
living from smashing bowlers to all parts of the ground. The Ireland batsman
has won many a games for his country, thanks to his ruthless hitting. On
Thursday, Kevin O'Brien, playing for Leinster Lightning, smashed a whirlwind 82
off just 37 balls, including eight sixes, during a domestic Twenty20 match in
Dublin. While the North-West Warriors bowlers were being bullied around,
O'Brien's car, which was in an adjoining car park, too ended up bearing the
brunt of its owner's power-hitting.During the match, the Irishman struck a
massive six that sailed into the car park, and smashed into the rear window of
his car at Pembroke Cricket Club. Cricket Ireland's Twitter account posted a
picture of O'Brien's damaged car, although the 36-year-old O'Brien had the
consolation of helping Leinster secure a win.
