I watched the cricket match between Asia XI and Rest of the world at lunch break.... Asian XI lost the match for 112 runs.
it was Australian prime minister John Howard who tossed the coin to start the match. the match began with a minute's silence for the victims of the tsunami.
1000 AUS$ for each runs scored and a whopping 50,000 AUS$ for each sixes in the play, i think the offer from 3G Mobile netwrork (Official sponsors of the Australian Cricket team ) was awsome. the match raised around 15 million AUS$. there will be an online auction of the dress the cricketers worn during the match .
Around 70,000 people watched the cricket which was played in the melbourne cricket stadium and a Billion through TV . Sony Entertainemnt channel broadcasted it in india and here it was by Ten Sports.
anway am happy that cricketers have contributed something to the tsunami vicitms :) thats great. after all its the charity who should be the winner.

TROY
saw the movie TROY yesterday ...i liked it .. i would give it 7/10 ...
its about the legendary troy war in which the trojans were fooled by spartans by offering them a huge horse as gift but in which greek soldiers were hiding.
the war starts when queen Helen of sparta flees with his lover paris (prince of troy) . and its Achellies who leads the greeks to victory over the trojans whose walls never destroyed by anyone beofre. and to enter the city which is guided by the strong walls greeks used the trojan horse. brad pitt had done his job perfectly as Achelis and also Eric Bana as Hector...
i liked the charachter Hector very much ... he had to suffer for his brothers deeds.... and his love for his brother and country is soemthing u cant compare with anything else!!! . he is Bold and not a coward like his brother paris. and as he says.. He is a True Trojan.
Visual effects of the movie is also good, especially the one whcich shows 1000's of ships salling towards troy and the other one when the army marches towards Trojans.
Favourite Charachter : Hector
Reason : He realy is a prince, a patriot, a great son, loves his brother, great father and husband , and above all a Gentleman.
