[Paoli]

Tsunami Appeal Match underway. MCC 14/0.

Whoa! Seems as if England beating Australia seems to have taken away all the attention from this match! By the way the MCC won by a pretty good margin-thanks to India's spin-twins. I suppose if they had declared ENG vs AUS Twenty20 game as the Tsunami relief match, it would have surely not only got more attention but more funds too.

The tsunami match was an important game in terms of it's cause, but as a competitive game it probably didn't grab most people's attention.

The fact is that England/Austrlia in a competitive intenational is alaways going to creat discussions. Two made up teams in a charity spectacle just doesn't really create debate..

It was poorly timed in my opinion, this match should have taken place before the 20/20 match at least.
Even I had no idea it was on until 20 over into the match...
