Tsunami Aid World XI vs Asian XI Cricket Match at MCG
World XI vs Asian XI Cricket Matches
The final result of $11 million raised for the tsunami relief fund was far more important than the score between two all-star cricket teams who met in a charity match. Based on revenue from ticket sales, sponsors and a telephone fund-raising effort during the match, cricket officials gave World Vision Australia $11.1 million for its tsunami fund.
For the record, the team of World players beat a team of Asian players by 112 runs in front of 70,101 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the match broadcast in 122 countries. Ricky Ponting hit 115 in a massive total of 344-8 after electing to bat first in front of a crowd of 70,101. Rahul Dravid top-scored with 75 not out in the Asian XI reply, after Virender Sehwag 's brisk 45. Daniel Vettori took 3-58 while England's Darren Gough took a wicket and a catch. Shane Warne had 2-27.
