Well im proud to say that yesterday we raised something like $15 million yesterday plus the 3 donation of 1,000 dollars per run scored and ICC made 344 and Asia made 200 and something so thats a shit load of money also.

Hat is off to Ricky Ponting playing a captains knock of 115 off something like 108 balls raising $115,000 by himself by scoring those runs

Bit suprising that the teams that were more affected by the disaster played shit, since they are giving their country money for each run scored it was just a little disappointing

SOUTH AFRICA FAIL AGAIN

South Africa put up a fairly dismal batting proformance in the 2nd innings against England, chasing 325 they went cheaply at first for 3/18, Rudolph (spelling?) and Kallis going in consecutibe balls and other key batters going cheaply.

Gibbs put up another good innings making 161 in the first he made 98 in the 2nd and went out after a fairly shitty LBW decision (I thought) the Captain Smith took a ball to the head in training and was told not to bat but came out at number 8 and made 67 before his team crumbled around him.

England won by 77 runs in the end and they are 2:1 in the series with 1 game to go before the 7 one day matches.

GOOD LUCK ED HUNTER

AWESOME I tried looking for this show on the TV but didn't find nada for Cricket Well at least it was a success! As for the players from their own Countries, thinking that maybe they have loved one's that parished in the Tsunami so they're heads aren't on the game as it should be That's what we're all here for in the world is to set aside Religious/Political/Race...differences & pitch in .....Sad that it has to be something so horrific to get this attention but so be it!!!

Our Prime Minister (Paul Martin) is over their & will more than likely get major negative feedback for talking/meeting with well known terrorist groups over their but like he said "We need to set aside the political/religious factors at a time like this & get these children help & the right way"!!!

Not sure yet on the total accumulated for Canada's Charity band bash as it's still collecting on the website! Noticed the USA's was well done compared to our show but they had more time to set it up. Tom Cochrane & friends, organized our's within 5 days & Alex Lifeson from Rush got ALL the bands together ...Noticed a few of Canadians artists took stage for the USA show but didn't for ours but then again does it really matter -- we're all here to HELP nuff_sed

Yeah it was all good stuff, usually at cricket games racial fights can break out usually between drunk Australians thinking their the only ones who are allowed to be rowdy and Indians or Pakistany's being so arogent but there was none of that at the game.

Yeah its good to see that most countrys are chipping in but some haven't made any donations or contributions to it at all .

This is a time when everybody needs to stop thinking about power, terrorism, economy and bloody help some people out

What's the difference between Indians being ignorant when the white Aussie's are also being that?

Sounds kinda scary to come their seeing as I'm an Indian here 'Me's tinkin' I should stay in Canada'

Which Countries aren't helping out? Yep, this is a time where togetherness is important & set aside the differences If ANYONE says to me one more time how Canada supports fookan terrorists I'll chew them up & spit them out to the pigs where they like rolling in their own fecies

Bah we dont need luck! England are shit and bloody lucky. Come the 7 one day matches, we're going to bring our game and England is in for a flogging.

[CorkMan]

lol no no TJ I mean Indians as in people from India ;D.

Ed mate 1st Innings for South Africa in 5th test was not so great young De Villiers played great for his 98 shame not to get the triple figures.
He was the real stand out, SA bringing back some of their most experianced bowlers Hall is playing again and some other guy lol.

Well they better bring their best game for those one day matches and if you don't Australia is gonna give em a royal arse kicking in New Zealand.

Australia just flogged Pakistan Clarke making 103 lol in funny style Ricky Ponting the captain gave up the strike and didn't really go after the runs just so Clarke could get the 100 good stuff Ricky and we would have lost against West Indies being 5/38 , but it was washed out hahaha we needed 170 off 120 and Martyn and Lehmann were going along alright then bam rain WOOHOO.

[CorkMan]

Well South Africa kicked Englands arse on the one day series 4:1, pommy bastard Kevin Pietersen got man of the series, great batter but as the Australians said if he is their main batsman against us HAHAHAHAHA.

Australia is playing New Zealand tomorrow in the first ever game of internation 20twenty (20 overs each) should be an awesome game, Im betting the aussies will loose but who knows what is gonna happen.

Well that filled in some time lol.

lol Australia is the best in the world at cricket both Test match (5 day game) and ODI's (50 over game) but yeah Canada only play in the world cup, so they haven't got international status yet. I do believe they hold a world record though, lowest ever score in a ODI ;D. But yeah can't wait until 2007 (next world cup) were going for 3 in a row.
