An exciting century from Ricky Ponting and some excellent bowling from Daniel Vettori helped the Rest of the World comfortably defeat the Asian XI in the tsunami charity match yesterday. But the real news is again the generosity that people have shown in the wake of the tsunami. The match raised another $14 million for World Vision. This comes just two days after over $20 million was raised by the Reach Out concert. Brilliant. It’s not possible for too much money to be donated to the tsunami appeal, since aid agencies such as World Vision will use excesses in other disaster struck regions of the world.
