Cricket Australia said Monday it had donated an extra
100,000 dollars (76,000 USD) to the Asian Tsunami Relief
Appeal, taking its total contribution to 117,000 dollars.
The head Australian body first gave 17,000 dollars to the
fund when it matched the Australian team's donation of its
prize money from the second Boxing Day Test win over
Pakistan here.
CA was also instrumental in helping arrange Monday's Tsunami
Relief Appeal one-dayer between a Rest of the World XI and
Asia XI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground at short notice.
The Australian team last year toured areas of India and Sri
Lanka which have been devastated by the tsunami.
