Damn that sucks trishie.

They broadcast the show in 52 countries for the telethon.

The cricket was awesome, I couldn't help myself, I worked in front of the tv with the cricket going. The cricket was shown in 122 countries - all this arranged in 10 days...

To see Ponting and Lara batting together was awesome. However it would have been nice to see Steve Waugh and Lara batting together...

They raised over 14million dollars yesterday (during the cricket)

Oh it is a shame you missed it. If I had have known before that they weren't going to cover it where you are, I could have taped it for you.

For each 6 hit Toyota gave $50,000 up to $500,000 and for each run scored 3Mobile gave $1,000

all up there were 576 runs scored... and 7 6s during the game.

It was a great game - and they shocked everyone by sending McGrath in as number 5 and damn he got out for a duck trying to hit a 6...

I'd better stop now, I am still astounded by the generosity of people around Australia...

Have a great day
