golazo Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 did anybody go to this game from neowin. i just got back from it and it was awesome if you want to read about go here http://www.sportal.com.au/cricket.asp?i=news&id=61066 the game got 16 million in donations for the tsunami victims. there was about 80,000 at the game including about the 1,000 who got ejected :p about once every 5 minutes we would hear the crowd chanting " na na na na na na na na hey hey hey good byeeee" then you would look and some one is getting dragged out by the hair bye security guards here is a pic one of the camera men took of a couple of friends, he says it will be in the paper tommorow :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
