Raa Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ahh c'mon, I was watching that game for almost the whole coverage in my comfortable lounge room at sunny Tamworth, and I didn't hear them chanting that :p And the final (official) total of the night was 14 million, and ~640 Hundred Thousand Dollars. (Australian Dollars) I'm interested to see how those e-bay items go - search for tsunami and you'll see the cricket items there! And I didn't happen to see those 2 chix either, was that between an Ad-Break? :p Oh - Three cheers for Austr..... I mean the Rest of the world :) Raa.

Jerichohol Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Wow thats a lot of money raised, I saw the match on TV (well actually recorded it to watch later as it was on during the early morning here in the UK) Nice match for a great cause. Congrats the the World XI on a quite comfortable victory Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/269325-tsunami-relief-cricket-match-asia-xi-vs-world-xi/#findComment-585282331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
